Folder Dynamic Color
Dialog selections are discussed below the image. For navigation to an item make a selection in the Folder Dynamic Color image.
Folder Dynamic Color dialog. Make selection above.
Dynamic colors provide for the design of widgets, icons, and layouts that automatically adapt thier color to match the user's wallpaper, system theme, or specific conditions such as time of day. This dialog allows users to customize the look and feel of their launcher interface by assigning specific colors to UI elements. It follows the Material You design language, which adapts colors based on user preferences or wallpaper tones.
Each entry in the list corresponds to a semantic color role used throughout the launcher. Here's what they typically control:
| ITEM | PURPOSE / USAGE |
| Custom color | User-defined override; can be applied to any element manually |
| Primary | Main accent color used for key interactive elements |
| On primary | Text/icons that appear on top of the primary color |
| Primary container | Background container for primary elements |
| On primary container | Text/icons on top of the primary container |
| Secondary | Supporting accent color for less prominent elements |
| On secondary | Text/icons on top of the secondary color |
| Secondary container | Background container for secondary elements |
| On secondary container | Text/icons on top of the secondary container |
| Tertiary | Additional accent color for nuanced UI elements |
| On tertiary | Text/icons on top of the tertiary color |
| Tertiary container | Background container for tertiary elements |
| On tertiary container | Text/icons on top of the tertiary container |
| Error | Color used to indicate errors or warnings |
| On error | Text/icons on top of the error color |
| Error container | Background container for error messages |
| On error container | Text/icons on top of the error container |
| Surface | General background color for surfaces (e.g., cards, panels) |
| On surface | Text/icons that appear on top of surface elements |
These would generally be used by:
- Tap any color role to open a color picker or apply a dynamic theme.
- Use Custom color for full manual control.
- Dynamic colors can be synced with your wallpaper or system theme for a cohesive look.
