Overview
- The beta shifts the search bar’s larger background container to a lighter Dynamic Color in dark theme to distinguish the bar from the pill.
- In light mode the background pill is more vibrant and the pastel look is replaced by richer tones.
- Microphone, Google Lens, and AI Mode buttons are slightly larger and use higher-contrast treatments for clearer visuals.
- The update remains in beta and did not include the November 2025 security patch.
- A broader release is expected next month with Themed icons for all apps and four additional icon shape options, according to current reporting.
