The first beta of Action Launcher v28 is live, headlined with full Adaptive Icon support for devices running Android Oreo.

Pick from 5 Adaptive Icon styles: circle, square, rounded square, teardrop and squircle.

Will you become like me and go from despising squircles to actually kind of liking them?

This update also sees a big enhancements to Quickedit, Action Launcher’s powerful icon editing system which offers suggestions for icon replacements based on icon packs on your device. Adaptive Icon support is now integrated into Quickedit, so you can quickly pick the icon shape that best suits your mood.

Adaptive Icon suggestions display automatically when editing icons via Quickedit

Other enhancements in this update include the use of the light navigation bar, Action Launcher itself uses an Adaptive Icon, as well as general improved compatibility when running on Android Oreo.

Work to support Android 8.0’s widget pinning is currently underway, and will hopefully be available in the beta channel before too long.
