Custom Icon Support!

[Gerreidae]

Hi, first of all thank you for your work on this project. MetroPhoneLauncher is one of the most faithful recreations of Windows Phone 7/8 aesthetics that I have found, especially in terms of animations and design.

One feature I would love to see is support for custom icons in tiles, I've seen it in other Windows Phone recreations and I think it would be a feature we would all use. Right now, the launcher overlays the original app icon on top of the tile base, which limits customization. Ideally, users would be able to

• Choose a custom icon from the device storage in PNG format.

This would allow for more creative configurations and help replicate the clean Aero aesthetic that many of us are looking for.

Thanks again for the attention.

Thanks for the ideas. MPL is a bit unstable at the moment, I'd like to fix most of the problems before adding new features. In the future, maybe we will add this 🙃

Hi again! Thanks for your earlier response:

"MPL is a bit unstable at the moment, I'd like to fix most of the problems before adding new features. In the future, maybe we will add this 🙃"

Totally understandable — and I appreciate the hard work you're doing to improve stability!

In the meantime, I noticed MPL supports Lawnicons, which inspired me to create my own icon pack based on it: Windows Phone Metro Pack. It's meant to replicate the original Windows Phone 8 icons as faithfully as possible to enhance the authenticity of the experience.

Just wanted to share this as a small contribution and show how excited I am about this launcher. Thanks again for your awesome work!
