much harder to tell at a glance what each app is

Is that a Google launcher issue? I'm using Nova Launcher and my apps are still all different colors, the app icons don't use the material you color.

    it's a google launcher "feature".

    it's only available on a13, i think, and not all launchers support it. but it is part of the m3 design language, so i included it as an example

    see here for more info, or here

    well probably, in fact i've never had it turned on. but it's part of the m3 design spec, so i'm going to use it as an example to criticise the m3 spec.

    Fair enough. I have it on, not much of a problem for me to recognize the apps but it gives a much more consistent look to my home page. I agree that Material You has sacrificed productivity in favor of appearance, and a lot of people may not like it. Meanwhile, I personally don't have much of a problem with that.
