Customization

Personalize Tree Launcher with themes, colors, fonts, icon packs, backgrounds, and headers.

Themes

Tree Launcher supports light and dark themes:

  1. Go to Settings → Appearance → Theme
  2. Choose Light or Dark

Accent Colors

Set a custom accent color that appears throughout the app:

  1. Go to Settings → Appearance → Accent Color
  2. Pick your preferred color

The accent color picker

The accent color is used for highlights, active states, and interactive elements across the app.

Background Colors

Customize background colors at two levels:

Global Background

Set a default background color for all pages: 1. Go to Settings → Appearance → Background 2. Choose your color

Per-Page Background

Override the global background for individual pages: 1. Open the page's settings 2. Set a custom background color or image

Background Images

Use custom images as page backgrounds:

  1. In a page's settings, choose Background Image
  2. Select an image from your device's gallery
  3. The image is displayed behind your page content

Background Overlay

A background overlay is a tint layer placed on top of your background color or image. Use it to lighten, darken, or color-shift a background so your page content stays easy to read.

  1. Open the page's settings (or Settings → Appearance for the global background)
  2. Choose Background Overlay
  3. Pick an overlay color and adjust its strength

Overlays work in tandem with a background image — for example, darkening a bright photo so light text stays legible, or adding a subtle color wash to match your theme.

  • System icons — Default Android icons for installed apps
  • Material Design icons — Built-in Material icon set
  • Third-party icon packs — Any icon pack installed from the Play Store

Per-Item Colors

Color individual items for visual organization:
