Android 12 Beta 2 launched yesterday with the wallpaper-based themes announced at Google I/O. We’ve already provided a preview of upcoming support in Google Messages, and now here’s an early look at the Material You “Dynamic Color” theme in the Gboard works .
About APK Insight: In this “APK Insight” post, we have decompiled the latest version of an app that Google has uploaded to the Play Store. When we decompile these files (called APK files, in the case of Android apps), we can see different lines of code within this hint in possible future features. Keep in mind that Google may or may not ship these features at all, and our interpretation of what they are may be incomplete. We’ll try to enable those who are about to finish, however, to show you what they would look like if they did charge. With that in mind, keep reading.
Once live, Dynamic Color will appear as a Gboard theme in the Default section next to System Auto, Default, and Default Dark. The background will always be the lightest hue, while turning Key Borders on/off plays a role in the customization.
If they are disabled, there are two more colors, starting with the darker shade of the “? 123” key and the space bar. The return key is slightly lighter than ever, while the “more” chevron is similarly colored. When borders are enabled, the QWERTY keys, apostrophe, language switcher, and spacebar are white. Capitalization, backspace, comma, period, and return take on a slightly lighter shade of 123.
As with what we’ve enabled in Messages, this isn’t rolling out to Android 12 Beta 2. Google has been testing a few Gboard builds over the past few months. The very limited number of people who redesigned the previous main sheet saw this variant with the rounded top corners to visually differentiate the keyboard and the suggestion bar removed with Gboard 10.7.
However, the Gboard Material You theme that we have enabled is most likely what will launch with Android 12 later this year.
Thanks to JEB Decompiler, which some APK Insight decompilers take advantage of.
