Android Oreo ugly square icons - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi... am I the only one who thinks square icons are extremely ugly? I can't find the way to use rounded icons without installing an icon pack but it was posible in Nougat with launchers like Lawnchair... Any solution?
Thanks!

Sell your Nexus and buy another phone instead of complaining about a small detail or by an icrap

I have the same problem but I cannot install anything in system app because my phone is refurbished by LG and it have a locked bootloader with the damn "no rpmb" message. So I cannot get root, I can't do anything with this phone but staying with all-stock version of Google's system...

I couldn't agree more!
I don't want icon backgrounds at all; a lot of icons all look the same now and I find it takes long to spot the app I want to open.

I tried H2OS few months ago, and it's the same than OOS, little differences between both OS and I had problems with my contacts (I haven't my contacts with country code, so H2OS don't sync that contacts)

Of course, H20s it's for chinese users. Chinese Market, chinese apps, NO google apps. Symlink error, google contacts error. That's why i sad about international version.
I've tested H2os, Aurora (H2os with some tunning).

So basically, there's no official way of disabling the capacitive keys and enabling the on screen ones ? And by the way, on the black version, are the navigation keys visible when not backlit ?
There invisible when not back lit mate
