The new Home Screen customization forces automatically darkened app icons when dark mode is selected. It’s not possible to have the previous behavior where UI elements (like menus, pop-ups, and widgets) are dark and app icons retain their original appearance.

While widgets can individually be set back to dark mode, that’s tedious, and it doesn’t cover other elements. There should be an option to toggle dark icons separately from the other elements (because, to be blunt, quite a few dark mode icons look really bad).

I completely agree with this, it was the first thing I noticed when I first updated and it immediately made me want to go back to 17. I should be able to have a dark UI and select dark mode widgets on a case by case basis.

Appears to be fixed now; icons in search results, app switcher, etc still show the dark mode versions but I’m sure they’ll clean that up as well.
