Google plans to make some changes to Gboard for Android as new color themes are under testing. While Gboard hasn’t seen major theme updates lately, this new design aims to give users a fresh experience by enhancing dynamic color light and dark themes.
Gboard is currently using three different colors for non-letter keys, which often look mismatched with the letters on the keyboard. That’s why Gboard is working on redesigned dynamic themes for Android devices, which promises a more cohesive and streamlined user experience.
The updated dynamic color themes come in light and dark modes. In this redesign, keys like shift, ?123, comma/emoji, period, enter, and backspace along with the menu button now share the same color. The dark theme is also darker than before, which creates a more appealing look.
Currently, a few devices running the latest Gboard beta version 14.7.10.x are showing this new Gboard theme. However, the “Default” themes that only highlight the enter key remain unchanged.
This testing indicates that Google is looking to improve the appearance of Gboard. It will be interesting to see how users react to this simpler design. For now, Gboard users should keep an eye on the updates as Google continues to work on this theme, and expected to be released in the coming days.
