Pixel Dark Theme

Is there anyone creating a dark theme for the Pixel? I just can't stand dialer, messenger, and settings menu all white.... So annoying. I know we have unlock and root now and wondering if anyone is creating a work around to enable a true "dark mode" or a theme that themes all the Google apps?

?Do NOT use Substratum Legacy on Pixels or Nexus devices running the 7.1.1 dev previews until further notice.
From the app notes section.

Yeah. All the good stuff usually does.
I think maybe I misunderstood the OP is he asking for something like TRDS in the old Slim days? Or just a way to get as much black as possible?

Was there anything else that you had to do other than root to get substratum working? I'm wondering if maybe it's not working because I'm still on NDE63L and not P as I am rooted and I get a list of compilation errors when I try to apply a theme (swift dark)

Weird maybe I'll try uninstalling it and reinstalling it, I'm up in Canada and it doesn't look like we've gotten the P update up here yet though I doubt that's actually the problem
Edit: unfortunately still getting the error ?

Everything I have read said doesn't work on Pixel 7.1.1. Proceed at your own risk. That being said I tried Magpie, Spectrum and Divinity with no bootlooping. Legacy theming is similar to 7.0. Kinda janky. Make sure you can fastboot system image and or format user data if anything goes wrong.

Just an update, I pushed the 63P update to my phone and substratum now works! I don't know if anything else was going on and I just needed to wipe or if going from L to P was needed but at least it's working now

Force stop is greyed out on it so it is probably dependent on another app to start the services.

Apparently won't work without the audio matching DB, some extra libraries and some modifications to SystemUI.

Change Icons in Pixel Launcher?

Has anybody figured out a way to change the icons in the Pixel Launcher? I found I can use Awesome Icons to swap them out but it won't let me change the icons in the dock.
I have nothing against Nova Launcher but would prefer to use the stock Launcher.
Thanks

That's called the dock. I don't quite know what your looking to do though. You said you can use Awesome Icons to swap them out, but can't change them?? You'd likely need an app to allow icon changes. I use Nova launcher to allow various icon packs to be used, but not sure if that's what you want.

Thanks for the info. Updated op. Not sure why I couldn't remember dock (not enough coffee). My issue is that I can change all the icons except the ones in the dock. I will probably end up using Nova but would like to find a way to do this in Pixel Launcher.

This works great. Saw it somewhere else but no download link so I assumed it wasn't any good anymore. Can't get it to do packs but works great individually. Very happy with this. Thanks so much (later).

This is the exact issue I've been trying to solve. Did anyone ever find a non-rooted option for switching the apps in the dock drawer?
Just got my Pixel 2 XL yesterday. Will eventually root but wanted to try to see how far I could get on stock.

Does it actually work system-wide though? Also, no square on the clock? I tried a few different apps on my 3xl, but none applied system-wide.

Font injection? It's the root one. This is cool. Thank you for this.

Does anyone know the location and font file(s) responsible for the lockscreen and status bar? Using a Magisk Module and its changed almost everything but not the lockscreen or the status bar. Some settings titles are the default GoogleSans as well.
If anyone knows, I'd appreciate you sharing!

Not working for me.. unless I'm using the wrong app. Fontio from playstore substratum/cmte?

Do you have a particular for in mind? I have a ADB font Installer that creates a font magisk module on your sdcard but it only has a few fonts in it. You must be rooted.

This works fine for Android 10? Everything I've found so far, it's not system-wide and things like the clock are messed up. I haven't tried fontio yet though.
I think it was you a while back that made me a rosemary font? That's one I'd love to see work again.

Sort of depends on the font. To get around the lockscreen clock problem if it's not compatible, you pretty much have to use the stock one. This one is called rosemary. If you don't like it, remove the module. Flash via magisk manager.

Well, on P, the rosemary font you posted in the 2xl font thread worked perfectly on my 2xl and 3xl, but only on P. On 10 it was doing the square in the clock and also wasn't system-wide. Did you just remake this?
Thanks a ton btw! I love this font.

I just pulled it from a website. I replaced the clock font with stock to get rid of the square for colon.

I'm very fond of Rosemary. Keep one of my pixel 2 XL is on Android 9 just to get the full effect. On 10 only halfway works even on my pixel 4 XL. So if I could find a rosemary font for the pixel 4 XL on Android 10 I'd be happy.
