Samsung Icon Recipe: Clean Black Icons + Dock Wallpaper

Someone on Threads asked how I made this Samsung home screen, so here is the full recipe.

This setup uses 3 colors, 1 dock wallpaper, and Samsung’s free Good Lock app with Theme Park.

Save this if you want your Galaxy home screen to feel cleaner, calmer, and way more personal.

What you need: Good Lock

Theme Park

A TechKitchen dock wallpaper

The 3 hex codes below

The color recipe: Icon tab: Monochrome

Hex code: #E2E2E2

Effects tab: Emboss

Hex code: #000000

Shape tab:

Hex code: #090909

Step by step:

Open Galaxy Store and install Good Lock

Open Good Lock and install Theme Park

Set your TechKitchen dock wallpaper as your home screen wallpaper

Open Theme Park

Tap Icon at the bottom

Tap Create new

Go to the Icon tab

Choose Monochrome

Type E2E2E2 into the hex field

Tap Shape at the bottom

Pick the shape that fits your wallpaper

Set the Shape color to # 090909

Go to Effects

Choose Emboss

Set the Effects color to # 000000

Use these Emboss settings: Strength: 65% Edge: 10 Angle: 35° Shadow: 45%

Save the recipe and apply it

My biggest tip: keep it simple. One wallpaper, one widget, and a clean icon recipe will always look better than a screen packed with random stuff.

You can grab the free dock wallpaper here:

5/12 Edited to

If you're aiming to make your Samsung Galaxy home screen truly stand out, adding a custom dock wallpaper like TechKitchen's is a game changer. I found that starting with a wallpaper that integrates the dock visually helps your app icons align perfectly, giving a seamless look that standard wallpapers often lack. Once you have your dock wallpaper set, using Good Lock's Theme Park app can elevate your customization. When I experimented with the emboss effect and chose monochrome icons in the suggested hex colors (#E2E2E2 for icons, #000000 for emboss, and #090909 for shape), it resulted in a polished aesthetic that isn’t overwhelming. The subtle depth from the emboss settings (Strength: 65%, Edge: 10, Angle: 35°, Shadow: 45%) adds a nice touch of dimensionality without clutter. My personal tip is to keep your home screen minimalistic—just one widget and a clean icon recipe paired with the dock wallpaper can create a sense of calm and order on your phone. Avoid cramming the screen with too many apps or widgets which could distract from the clean effect. I highly recommend visiting techkitchen.ca/wallpapers to download their free dock wallpapers and try out these settings yourself. It’s a quick and easy way to refresh your Home screen and express your style without any complicated steps.
