Try selecting your favorite style!

Please note; You cannot display notification badges due to the Google specification.

As a personal recommendation...

If you don't plan to customize other icons→ Circle icon is recommended. The WidgetClub mark is added due to Google's restrictions, but it matches the height of non-customized app icons, creating a sense of unity!

If you plan to customize other icons as well→ Square icon is recommended! Android users can customize their icons quite stylishly, so it's convenient!

How to Hide the Original X Icon

If you want to hide the original X icon, choose "Remove" instead of "Uninstall" when long-pressing the app. Definitely do not choose "Uninstall"! The reason is that although you can visually change the app icon, if you actually uninstall the app, you won't be able to use the app anymore!

(For some devices, when you long-press the app icon and drag it on the screen, "Remove" or "Uninstall" is displayed at the top. Move it to the "Remove" area to hide it.)
