I'm pretty sure this happens when Android ROMs set the experimental flag that forces dynamic icons. Google experimented with it during the beta, but ultimately disabled the feature. But all ROMs that ship the AOSP launcher can enable it.
In this case, Jerboa's latest version works normally with dynamic icons, so forcing it might be causing issues.

Any image artists want to put together some stylish app icons and submit them to Github?
I might if I get the time
I've made a set with a yellow background instead of beige

The Delta icon for Jerboa is pretty nice
That is not normal. Do you have some sort of contrast setting turned on in android?
I'm pretty sure I don't. What is different in my case? The background color of the icon?
The tail and feet and outline are missing. 👀
poor little guy looks like fucking Rayman
I love this comment so much. I keep rereading it. 🤣
It was exposed to the Mars atmosphere in Total Recall.

Your background color is gone or it's the same as the outline color. Mine looks like this

Looks fine for me. The squircle thing is setup systemwide.
Maybe you got a bootleg copy.
Mine looks the same but I'm using a launcher not the standard Android one
Mine looks similar but a lot better!
I'm on LineageOS 20 w/ MicroG and am using NeoLauncher for my launcher.
My icon has a white background and then all looks fine.
Looks fine to me. Could it be a system theme issue?
I suspect you have changed a universal setting in your device that effects the way app icons appear. Square shaped and background color?
Can't find any, but I'm on a slightly obscure OS (https://e.foundation/e-os/) so probably they have made some choices like that. Thanks!
I think e os is running on very outdated Android version. So it might be because older version do not handle transparent icon well.
Also e/os has some modification on icon. It is possible they set the background to the boarder color of the icon, hence hiding the tail.
I would suggest to try a different launcher/icon pack see if the issue persist.
/e/ os seems to be running Android 12, which I believe is the latest?
But yes, a different launcher solves the issue!
Currently, I am on Android 13
