Retro Mode Icon Pack - Now with 3000 Icons (wohoo!)


Hey friends!


back in March 2022 I tried something adventurous: with very little experience in Android programming, I built and released a pixel art icon pack with (back then) 500 icons. I got raving 5-star reviews, I got my first 1-star review, I got nervous breakdowns, I found bugs and I fixed them... 😅 Fast forward to today and what was one little experiment are now two mighty Retro Mode icon packs with 3000 icons each, with 10 wallpapers each, and 6 super customisable widgets.


If you want to enjoy looking at your Android phone again, check it out! :)

What's Included

  • 3000 hand-pixelled icons
  • 10 wallpapers
  • 6 widgets
  • monthly updates with 100-200 new icons
  • possibility to ask me to draw your icons (in-app purchase)


I'm especially proud of the widgets. They're super customisable and apart from a digital clock, a calendar and shortcuts, there's also a greeting widget that lets you enter custom text to display in the morning, at noon, in the afternoon and in the evening (so you can have it say "Good Morning", for example.) Here's a sneak peek:

How To

Never done any Android customisation before? Don't you worry, it's no rocket science. :) Check out this YouTube video I made with a step-by-step tutorial on how to customise your home screen with Retro Mode and the free app Nova launcher: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VEenqYLYcY


...and What About iOS?

Unfortunately, icon packs are not really a thing on iOS and can only be used with clunky shortcut apps (which love to flicker when you use them...). However, I offer the wallpapers and the original Retro Mode font on my shop:


If you have any questions whatsoever, I'm always happy to help at stefanie@moertel.app. :)


Thanks for reading and now I'll go celebrate the 3000 icon milestone!


Have a fantastic weekend ahead,

Stefanie (a.k.a. Moertel)
