My icons changed to black updating to the latest update, easy to change but it should not do it because Apple says so.
cool. Can we get multiple users? Would be nice to have completely separate user spaces. Thank you.
They look rediculous. All I want is normal sized icons without descriptions. Why is this so hard to implement?
Exactly, this is so annoying. I don't even think this is a bug, or was that different during the betas? Unfortunately, I think no one has thought this through.
Despite the best efforts of some of the daily posters in the 'share your homescreen' thread to ruin iOS with some ugly wallpapers (you know who you are 
) the dark icons have grown on my to the point that they are my preferred option now. The new iWork ones look nice too.
Back in July they had this horrid slight gradient to them (which I think is still there on the calendar app?) but they've cleaned them up and they look much nicer.

Slightly puzzled by the "Automatic" setting. If I go into a darkened room, the apps remain Light and don't switch to dark mode even with Automatic selected. Is it based on time of day, perhaps?
im loving this new customization. can do some pretty cool things. iOS is fun again. and if you dont want to, dont!
Those icons look ugly as hell...
Well, outside of the walled garden you can run Firefox with it's engine and extensions and get DarkReader and don't have to deal with light websites burning your eyeballs during the night... but let's throw more money at Apple sinkhole not addressing real issues xD

There is a dark reader extension for safari too. No need to install a new WebKit skin first.
On topic: some high profile developers are lazy or petty AF. Reddit still hasn’t updated their icon for example.
The first month I will be using tinted color so I can override developers until they get with the program.
It works the same as the regular dark mode, it is based on time (morning vs evening). In regular dark mode, the phone won't go into dark mode if you enter a dark basement would it? Same with the app icons.
It is based on whether you are in dark mode, even if you enter it manually. So, however you have dark mode set.
I’m experimenting with tint mode, which I didn’t expect. I know Sebastian de With isn’t a big fan of how the tint is implemented. I’m guessing, but maybe he wants increased contrast?
I saw someone else requested an additional tint mode option for light mode, which is a good idea—both should be optional and independently set from one another, though.
There are safari extensions that can fix this now I use noir. It’s been an option for a few years now. There are several free and paid apps in the App Store that offer safari extensions just for this purpose
I've tried these dark icons for like two days and my god are they horrible. They look like they were design by an intern :')
