Description
Creates transparent icons and widgets for your Home Screen.
Can be used with @nyuszika7h’s Icon Themer (https://routinehub.co/shortcut/6565/) or the usual custom icon Shortcut trick.
To use, go to your Home Screen, enter jiggle mode, swipe over to an empty page, take a screenshot, and share that screenshot into this Shortcut. You can then choose if you want to make a transparent icon or any size of widget.
If you have a transparent glyph downloaded, you can overlay it on the icon that is generated. The result will be saved to Photos.

It keeps saying ‘Shortcut Failed’ and ‘Unknown Screen size detected’. I’m on an iPad Pro 2020 12.9-inch. Please help! Is this only for iPhones? I did the steps correctly, went to a blank page at the end of the home screen, and then took a screenshot of it, and then chose it in the shortcut when it asked.

Yes, it only works for iPhones at the moment. iPad support is in consideration for a future version.

There is an error for the iPhone 7 crop, it doesn’t correctly get the position for the icons making a slight distortion between the icons and the wallpaper. I corrected it and the values below should fix it. I just figured you should update it so people using those iPhones are disappointed.

I have made a modified version(prototype) of your shortcut with the addition of blending an image into a part(widget, icon) of the background.
Something like this:

Thank you for your lovely shortcut, I wonder whether it’s possible for us to change the icon size?
The first Youtube icon was made by your shortcut, which I think it’s a little small
The second Youtube icon was fixed by photoshop after I got the icon by your shortcut, which is what I want
