I appreciate the minimalistic design but for the price i really hoped that more icons were included. Example: There is just one icon for stocks, imagine if someone has 3 different stock accounts and 1 for crypto, would be great to modify them a bit or maybe put a small number to indicate which one is what. Also would be great if there was icons for apps that people use as hobbies for example movies (Cinema), Clothing app, Sports etc.

This video and Icon pack is what kept me sane while being sick at home today! Thanks mate and the Icons and Wallpaper look stunning on my iPhone 15 Pro Max

This all looks painfully complicated. I love my iPad, but I’ll never get an iPhone. My Galaxy Note 23Ultra provides an insane level of customization without all of this work.

[melovated]

So excited these are finally launched! I've been following your Build From Scratch series and it's taken my understanding and integration of Notion to the next level. I am not-so-patiently waiting for the Life OS v.3 update - would you recommend downloading the icons and covers now or just waiting for the update? Thanks for all you do! 😁

[MrRockso]

once I disabled my dark appearance mode, everything worked perfectly!

[neilriley]

Genius idea, I'm totally converted to Notion now since binge-watching your channel. Implemented 3 Notion instances, one of which I'm turning into a 'product/service'..Many thanks for all your insights.

Icons aren’t transparent when uploading widgy? It’s like they’re jpg and not png? So there’s a background of the color?

[josephremick]

I may be doing something wrong too, but the Clear Gradient icons are not picking up the chosen icon color. I'm using the correct icons as I've tried this several times. I'm running iOS 17.4.1 so maybe that has something to do with it. The shortcut interface on my phone is completely different than what is shown in the video.

Can you make video like this for the iPad? I know this can be done on the iPad but the steps are not the same. Great work though!

[youknowthatsite]

Never got a chance to say thanks for the video and awesome packs the first time round 😀Truely awesome work ! 👌Was wondering if you had an update planned for iOS 17🤔

[radosawcwiklinski]

Hi! I'm amazed how good it looks. But before I will buy the pack and create everything using the pack, can you tell me if it is still working with iOS 17?

[omarg]

I would live to buy the this but I want it in dark mode with some color so how can I get it? The color one

[bradleyw]

Holy crap. much PT. I didnt expect that when I bought the pack. Im not a PHD grad with techie stuff. much PT

[mushroomthump]

How do you stop the Shortcuts notifaction banner from popping up every time you select one of the custom icons. I looked around in the notification settings and online, and I am not seeing a solution. If this pop up cant be turned off, unfortunately custom icons are not an option for me

[elizabethburg]

Hey Simon, any chance you’re sharing the Widget you’ve created outside of the icon packs? Thanks in advance for your consideration!

[AustinWalker]

Love the set up. I’m wondering what the most convenient way to have DND modes for notifications and texts layered in, since home page slides can only be tied to individual focus modes

[EduardoHenrique-ndro]

Amazing video, Simon! Thanks for sharing!
Cheers from Brazil!

[ChrisCunha-jkfb]

Hey Simon. I downloaded your icon pack. Works great. Only problem is the widgets, I’m not able to switch them out of Dark Mode in the widget app. I click the little mobile phone and then change it to dark mode. It changes, but then instantly changes back every time. Not sure why, . Can you point me in the right direction

[lalo]

My dock doesn't disappear. I'm on iOS 17 and there's no action set appearance in the automation. Any help welcome

[Cosmotab]

Can someone tell me how to read the Apple Clock Gauage or how to set it up to show the correct time?
