What changed

The launcher icon from #81 is tuned to how launchers actually render it: the mascot no longer touches the circular mask edge (its antennas grazed it), and the icon's background circle is now a muted dark navy instead of bright white, matching how the sibling apps' icons sit on a homescreen. The Play Store icon and the in-app brand mark keep the light tile.

Technical Context

  • Verified on a Pixel 9 Pro homescreen next to SD Maid and Butler: at foreground scale 0.70 the antenna tips sat at ~95% of the circle mask's visible radius; 0.64 reproduces the siblings' margins. The monochrome layer moves with it so themed icons match.
  • The background layer color (#444E71) is deliberately lighter than the mascot's navy body so the body still reads against it, the same relationship as Butler's black suit on its gray circle.
  • Only the three adaptive layers changed; the pre-composed full icon, fastlane icon, and feature graphic are byte-identical (Butler uses the same dark-launcher/light-listing split).
  • On-device verification covered the launcher rendering; themed-icon and notification rendering are still preview-verified only.

On-device (Pixel 9 Pro launcher) the antennas touched the circular mask edge and the off-white disc stood out next to the sibling apps' muted dark circles. The adaptive foreground and monochrome layers drop from scale 0.70 to 0.64, matching SD Maid/Butler margins, and the background layer switches to a muted slate-navy (#444E71) that keeps the navy battery body readable. The pre-composed full icon, fastlane icon, and feature graphic keep the off-white tile (Butler uses the same launcher-dark/listing-light split).
