The monochromatic theme of Nothing OS is distinctive, stylish, and truly a class apart. Its dot matric fonts and minimalist icon style have earned the admiration of users from around the world. Those who’re rocking the Nothing Phones and have the latest Nothing OS installed can easily change the colorful stock icon pack to the monochromatic theme offered by Nothing.

Here’s everything you need to know to apply Nothing’s monochrome style to all your app icons with Nothing OS 2.0. 

How to customize and apply Nothing’s monochromatic style to all app icons

Nothing Phones 1 and 2 already have the option of switching to the basic Nothing icon pack from the ‘Customization’ settings. However, it is only half-baked, in that it doesn’t apply to all icons. But you can get the Nothing Icon Pack that themes all icons in its unique monochrome style for free as long as you fulfill the requirements given below.

Requirements

To ensure you can get the Nothing Icon Pack and theme all your icons in monochrome (as shown in step 2 given below), you need to first ensure that you’re updated to the latest version of Nothing OS. To do so, open the Settings app, tap on System > System Update, and update your Nothing Phone. The latest Nothing OS version is 2.0.4. 

1. Switch to the default Nothing icons

To switch away from the colorful default icons to the Nothing icon pack, tap and hold on the Home screen and select Customization.

Tap on Icon Pack.

Here, select Nothing.

Your icons will now change to the Nothing pack.

However, as you can see below, not all icons are themed as such. 

There will be many apps whose icons will still be set to their default colors. Fortunately, this can be easily changed with the following option.

2. Get the official Nothing Icon Pack and theme all icons in monochrome

Nothing OS 2.0 (and above) has a new monochromatic icon pack that applies to all icons, regardless of the apps. Here’s how to get it. 

Open the ‘Icon Pack’ customization settings as before. Then tap on Add.

Alternatively, open the Play Store and search for ‘Nothing Icon Pack’. 

Look for the Nothing Icon Pack offered by NOTHING TECHNOLOGY LIMITED and tap on it. 

Tap on Install.

Once installed, go back to the Icon Pack customization setting and make sure that Nothing is selected.

Now, all your icons will be styled according to Nothing’s monochrome color scheme. 

The Nothing Icon Pack on Nothing OS 2.0 is one of the best implementations of a uniform icon pack. Not only does it keep any unthemed icon from sticking out like a sore thumb but also lets you use apps more intentionally rather than being distracted by the colorful logos of different app icons.

Granted, it can get harder to find apps quickly by their icons. But that is precisely what Nothing is looking to do so that users become more mindful of the apps that they attend to.
