I like it. @VishalNehra @TranceLove @VishnuSanal ?

@nicbn are the icons what the material design guidelines recommends?

I couldn't find anything about icons on settings at the material design guidelines. I simply used icons I found appropriate for each category and added a backdrop as the Android system settings does.

It looks like Android 9 settings has that kind of icons, so its ok.
