Do any of the following:
Make the icons bigger: Tap Large. (In large size, the names of the apps disappear.)
Choose a dark or light appearance for icons and widgets: Tap Dark or Light. To show icons and widgets with a dark appearance at night and a light appearance during the day, tap Automatic.
Add a color tint to icons and widgets: Tap Tinted. Use the sliders to choose the color and saturation. You can also use the eyedropper to select a color in your wallpaper for icons.
