Mobile phone application to change the icon market space is really big

The pain point of the icon is "inconsistent style", rather than "change at whim".

"Change" is only means, the purpose is to let the user feel comfortable and pleasing to the liking.

Just say a few typical examples: I check, Baidu. See how many people spit their icon design.

Every day with something, there are a few wonderful design, like home decoration, a person like Chinese mahogany, was forced to match a few Nordic simple furniture, very annoying.

"Inconsistent style", one is the problem of matching the icon, the other is with the user with the problem.

The problem of matching the icon is better to understand, the user collocation problem is mainly used scenes, such as business people, middle school students, passionate couples and so on, they are the pursuit of visual style and tolerance degree are different.

Look at the picture. Here's my iphone screenshot. According to the use of frequency will focus on the first screen, and according to the right hand habits, to operate conveniently as the standard, adjusted the icon position.

As you can see, the first screen, which is tailored to your personal preferences, is so uncoordinated between the application icons. In the same screen, crystal high light, fitting, photo, plane and so on design way, various shades, various shades, and the most disgusting that Win98 style + crooked neck of the icon I would like to lift table ...

There is another way, a little extreme, from @ Tao Wu: How to decorate the IPhone's desktop gracefully?

No malice to evaluate, this is really very difficult to see, completely failed the original intention of high-quality visual design ... Sorry)

But from the use of said, such a layout is the most comfortable users. Bring a pain point: see not smooth, but use smoothly.

In order to solve the problem, some of the package such as @ Coixiong: How to gracefully decorate the IPhone desktop?

Well, I say it's obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Another way to differentiate by visual style comes from @zcxxiv: How to decorate the IPhone's desktop gracefully?

You reader may as well go to the corresponding question to see, decorate the beautiful answer to obtain the approval ticket, how many can explain some questions.

This layout satisfies the beauty, but at the expense of usability. Do not say in the same tone icon to find the goal of the delay, just a point, the icon tone consistent application, the use of the scene itself is not necessarily consistent. This brings the second pain point: Gu got good-looking, forget convenient.

The hammer now helps the third party to change the icon, although somewhat thankless, slightly more than two, but they are in the solution of these two pain points on the first step: try to strong hosting third-party icons, to ensure that the phone itself image consistent. On a consistent basis, it is possible to talk about a higher level of style, ideas or ideals.

From this, the replacement of the icon market if there is, is destined to be a unilateral advantage of the market, similar to the bidding of a party B. Will not blossom as the application market, because the pain point of the icon happens to be "because of the diversity caused by the uncoordinated."
