Projectivy Launcher Custom Icons: Rename Apps and Match One Icon Style

A TV icon is read from three metres away, not studied up close. Start from Projectivy Launcher guide and give every app one consistent style and a household name, and the whole screen gets calmer.

Why icons matter at TV distance

A phone icon is studied up close. A TV icon is read from three metres away, in a dim room, by someone holding a remote. That distance changes everything: detail disappears, colour and shape carry the meaning, and a mixed set of icon styles turns the home screen into visual noise. One consistent icon style is not decoration on a TV. It is readability.

Pick one style and keep it

Pick one icon style for the whole Projectivy Launcher home screen and apply it to every app you show. Mixing rounded, square, and photographic icons makes each row harder to scan, because the eye must relearn each tile. When a new app arrives, give it the same style before it earns a place in a top row, or it will stick out every evening. See also the home screen customization guide for the step by step version.

Rename for household words

Rename apps to the words your household actually says. Films beats a brand name for guests, and Cartoons beats a studio name for children. Keep every label short, because long names wrap or truncate at TV viewing distance, and a truncated label helps nobody. Test each rename by asking someone to find the app without help. Pair this with the wallpaper guide when you rebuild the rows.

Test from the sofa

Finish every icon change with a sofa test: sit where you watch, pick up the remote, and find five apps without leaning forward. If any tile needs squinting, its icon or label is wrong, no matter how good it looked up close. Projectivy Launcher icons are for the room, not for the settings screen.
