Description

On iOS we offer custom icons as it's an option provided by the system. Speaking with @ParaskP7 we wanted to explore whether it's possible to bring this to Android as well. There are five color options, but I'll show two for the sake of brevity:

Pink:
Pink

Spectrum:
Spectrum

I've exported all five background colors as separate SVGs. The foreground SVG is included in this zip, but it's unchanged from what we're currently using.

New-Icons.zip

If we find out this is possible, then I'll look at how we should present the options in the UI.

No files, tests, or Android entry points are named. Start by inspecting the existing Android launcher-icon resources and verifying whether Android supports the supplied SVG variants; done means a documented feasibility result and, if feasible, a defined implementation and UI scope.
