The Settings for the icon frame is GRAYED OUT as per photo attached.

Oh man. Hope that can be changed. Hate those frames
Go back to stock theme and then turn it off.
it's grayed out cause its not the default theme, set the default theme back, turn it off then change theme
ahh i see. got i and fixed. thanks xD

Samsung updated a lot (not all) Google's apps icon to fit their icon frame design.
What that means is, instead they make their frames completely opaque white (it is still transparent), they changed Google's apps icon at system level.
If you install a new launcher, you will still see the 'frame' on Google's apps.
This is stupid imo, they should have simply made their frames opaque white.

How do you change the stock icons? Can you get them from m the play store or do they have to be from the LG theme app?

Just use a launcher like Nova or Apex. Then apply whatever icons you want.
Actually came in here to answer my own question just in case someone was wondering. You can't change them unless you use the Home/app drawer option. Long press the icon will give you the little purple paint brush.
Well, after trying that, it seems no matter what I do, I can't rid of the black background the system places on the icons.
Also, try the themes in the smart world. A lot of themes have different icons

You can get rid of the black backgrounds. From a cnet article (​Four settings to change on the LG G6): To switch back to normal icons, head to Settings and open the Display tab. Then select Home Screen, followed by Icon Shape and then tap Original.
So I'm trying to live with the fact that I can't remove the 3minit battery and clock from the ROM I'm using, but I have an issue that is driving me insane. The battery and clock are set to white, so when I go to a screen with a white background, like settings, the battery and clock disappear.
Is there any way to make them change to black like the rest of the system status bar icons? If not, I guess I will be going back to my old ROM...

Go into the 3-minit clock app and tap each one of the bubbles to open up the settings you can change the color of the clock parts there then click on the bubble at the bottom and select apply changes.
As for 3minit battery you can change the colors of the battery if you download one of the colorable battery themes

Yes, I understand that, but there is no way for the color to adapt to the background. So if the background is light, the color should be black. If the background is dark, then the color should change to white. With 3minit, it's either always black or always white (or whatever color I set it to). The system default is to adapt to the background. Why is that not an option?

What I always did with 3minit (before this V20 which I want battery in the second screen) I used it to hide battery, then use system settings for battery percentage in status bar. That way it should adapt.
Id look into the ModControl and ModInstaller apps being developed here for the V20.
It has the ability to add and remove a ton of ui mods. Depending on the rom it may change a good bit as it replaces the systemui with a modded on.
But it would allow you to turn 3mini clock mod off or on in your rom. Making it a revert to stock kinda option persay. It should be very universal on v20 stock roms.

Unfortunately, the mods are hard-coded into the ROM and are not configurable through ModControl, which would have made better sense. I like customization, but not at the expense of options. If I wanted that, I would have stayed with an iPhone. I think the best solution is to just go back to your ROM.

Hi,
Please did you manage to get the clock changes the color based on the background ? Thanks
Is there any chance to change lockscreen icons look?
As I see icons are always default one from theme which is used. If I change app icon in drawer or on home screen, icon for that(same) app is still default on lockscreen.
Is it somehow possible to set your own icons? Maybe with root? But still don't know how ...
Root, Xposed (not sure about lg compatibility though?) or maybe via Substratum.
There are a few options available I guess
Thanks for advice. Xposed, good option.
But, yeah, I'm guessing too, because there's not much about that (connected with G6) on google.

If the icons were themed then they should stay themed on the lock screen? If you dont mind, which theme are you using? maybe there is another resolution of icon that needs to be added for this to be shown.
And which icons are they??
What launcher are you using??
I can say that i have found on my themes that even though i themed my icons, that when i press the home screen to change wallpapers that the original gallery icon shows up. So i may need to add different sizes and get those the right size.

Yup, I saw that theme also changes icons. I know that. You can also DL icon packages (MIUI) which also change icons, but they're not quit the same as original icon form package ...
The only problem is, that there's hard to found theme with all the icons. For example, non of original LG theme don't have exDialer icon.
So, a little playing with themes help somehow.

No sadly we cant theme non system applications with this theme engine. And what can do is still limited. We cant touch everything.
So yea you will need to find an icon pack that works. Sorry
i updated to android 8.0 today and the first thing i noticed after reboot is that some of my icons have white boxes around them. so i thought i would just change the icons to fix it. that did not work some of the icons did change but the white boxes remain. i then thought it was time for a theme change so i went and found a springy like puppy theme to use. that went badly also. None of the icons on the screen are from the new theme. in the screenie provided the green arrow shows the white box and the one icon that changed. the red arrow is the original themes icon set. the blue icon is the original theme icon with the white box around it. i have tried changing wallpapers and icons and themes but the icons do not change anymore.

Try to apply the theme again
And in settings there is an option to turn off icon backgrounds.

that did not work
only the home screen being affected made me thing.i had forgotten that i had installed the pixel 2 launcher in android 7. i went and turned it off and went back to defaults it all is working. so i uninstalled it and re downloaded it and reinstalled and it is working so it looks like the app did not like the upgrade.
looks like the theme hasn't been updated to make it compatible with Oreo.
it isn't the theme that has the issue as i tried 5-6 themes all having the same issue. it was the pixel launcher did not like being installed in android 7 then upgraded to 8. once i uninstalled the launcher and then reinstalled it all is working as expected.
i thought only i had that problem i use apex launcher on note 8 and after i apply theme or icon pack it is not changing
I just use the "vanilla" Samsung launcher, and I have this issue, even with a setting reset. I really don't want to do a factory.
I am having same issue but I have no launcher installed. Just using it theme. What I found is that the setting under
Settings - - > display - - > frame icons
is on and grayed out. Can't figure out how to ungray it

Are you using an other launcher then the original one ? That could be the problem.

It looks like Oreo has brought new feature called Adaptive Icons.
Apparently until developers would have enabled their stuff to support it you still be watching white area surrounding the legacy icons.
This is why I've switched to Nova, but unfortunately loosing numeric notification badges

You need to install TeslaUnread for Nova Launcher
Hi guys,
Some of my icons (like all google apps) have an ugly white boarder around them. When I go into home screen settings I can change the shape of the icons to "original" or "rounded" etc. but that doesn't change the shape for some of the icons. It's apps like playstore, gmail, whatsapp. Things like that.
Is this the same for you guys?

Unfortunately it is also on mine.
Just found out that it's actually an Android Oreo feature called "adaptive icons". It's built in on a system level and apparently can't be disabled
So the only option is to use a custom launcher with icon packs.
cheers guys.

But you can apparently change the shape to circles or whatever, and I'm not sure where the menu to do this is. Anyone have any ideas?

In nova launcher settings just hold for few seconds volume down, that will activate labs, then go in to icon shape menu in nova and activate legacy icons.
