Hi
My operative system is Android 5.1. I have recently noticed that most of the apps icons are surrounded with grey like boarders/frames. I don't like them and unfortunately I have not seen any help online. Anyone with idea on how to get rid of these frames?
Thanks in advance.

In the attached screenshot, you will see most of the icons surrounded with the undesired grey frame, except the calculator icon and the icons on the last row. I appreciate your time in reviewing my issue. Thank you.

The launcher is the interface you see. The desktop if you will. Different manufacturers use different launchers, which may cause icons to look differently. Old versions of the Samsung launcher for example, had multicolored squares on which the icons site, similar to the way you currently have your icons sitting on gray squares. There's no way to remove that other than to use a different launcher app.
