Customize Google Pixel
The default app launcher on Pixel devices, known as the Pixel Launcher is not very feature-packed. It offers some customization though, and it’s easy to access those options.
Change Wallpapers on Google Pixel
There are many new wallpapers on Google Pixel, of “famous artworks provided by cultural institutions from around the world.” Google even added some new Mandalorian wallpapers if you’re a fan of the show. The Mandalorian wallpapers are very limited in numbers though. Once you are in the customization settings, you land by default on the Wallpaper tab. Here you can swipe left or right to switch preview between the home screen and the grid size.
Change System & App Icons, Fonts, Accent Color on Google Pixel
Wallpapers are the most basic way to customize any smartphone, not just the Google Pixel. But other things that the Google Pixel lets you customize are the system icons and app icons. The Pixel Launcher does not support Android custom icon packs, however, it does support Android’s adaptive icons. You can change system icons such as WiFi, Bluetooth, network, and more to different styles other than the custom app icons. You can save such multiple profiles with custom app icons, system icons, fonts, and accent colors. Saving such profiles will let you switch the Pixel phone makeover quickly.
Change Home Screen Grid Size on Google Pixel
Home screen grids are set in a way that some widgets will appear on the middle of the screen allowing no other apps icons to be housed. Pixel launcher now allows you to customize Google Pixel home screen grid size.
For now, these are the only few things that a Google Pixel phone offers in the name of customization. Interestingly, at least when it comes to font options, the Pixel gives you more than some other Android phones. The same is true for all the different app icon shapes you can change to as well as the status bar icons.
