GrapheneOS looks almost exactly like AOSP and doesn't add any visual features, so screenshots would be somewhat pointless.

It would answer my question properly if I'd seen that it looks just like the stock Android UI, so even though it's almost exactly the same, that's still quite valuable for me rather than pointless.

I've also done some image search and it does change a bit with apps and they look quite good. So I'm still baffled why this aversion to images is decided. Or just overlooked maybe?

Probably just overlooked, yes.

Hmm, I haven't noticed any difference. Which apps are you referring to?

In this article there are a few screenshots with grayscale icons: https://9to5google.com/2024/04/16/grapheneos-review-de-googl...

Is that the default?

>>codeth+(OP)
It's still a custom ROM and it's not uncommon for those to be reskinned in interesting or weird ways. Plus, their website already uses the outline of a phone with their logo inside of it, why not make that a screenshot of their ROM with their logo as a background?

Furthermore, I'm interested in what their solution for email, calendars, and all the other Google services look like. If it's AOSP, that's a good reason not to use this ROM. I suspect it's not actually using AOSP's apps, though.

No, the grayscale icons are for built-in GrapheneOS apps only. Non-GOS apps look as they would on any other phone.

There are no built-in apps for that. The only custom apps GOS provides are Auditor (https://attestation.app/), Camera, Calculator¹, Contacts¹, Files¹, Gallery¹, Messaging¹, a hardened PDF viewer, and Vanadium (a hardened version of Chromium). Everything else is up to you.

¹) AOSP app or fork of the AOSP app.

Our own apps and the currently basic forks of Android Open Source Project sample apps use black, white and gray as their icon color scheme. It's similar to how other organizations choose a few colors for their apps. The icons aren't grayscale, those are just the current colors we use for our own.
