It seems like Chrome is gearing up for a big redesign eventually. Chrome OS added a commit in June for a "unified switch for the ChromeOS Material Next launch." "Material Next" is the internal name for Material You. Chrome's settings don't call out the branded Material You color scheme just yet, but Chrome is clearly headed that way. This is the first version of Material You, so the colors may be toned down in the future, and some of the contrast issues (particularly with the white Google logo) will be cleaned up.
Chrome canary vs chrome manual#
Chrome has had a manual color picker for a while, so even if this becomes the default, you'll probably be able to turn it off. Chrome is way off in the other direction right now, with blazingly bright background colors that are probably a distraction when you're trying to focus on a webpage. The result is usually only lightly tinted backgrounds with bolder colors reserved for important action buttons.
Chrome canary vs chrome android#
Android makes a lot of light pastels from your wallpaper by adjusting lightness values to maintain a readable contrast and fit in with Google's design intent. I don't know if it's right to call Chrome's color scheme Material You right now since the colors are a lot bolder and more distracting than what Android normally uses. Spotify's year in review falsely reporting a Windows 8 laptop as a mobile. It works great if you're into a colorful UI, and it gives Android a unique look. To further verify the issue, I loaded up Chrome Canary. Android can automatically snatch colors from your wallpaper and apply that to the UI, with lots of algorithm magic to ensure zero contrast problems.
In addition to a new set of guidelines for the sizes and shapes of UI components, Material You also came with an automatic color system. Material You launched in 2021 with Android 12. One more flag at "chrome://flags/#ntp-comprehensive-theming" will also apply these colors to the new tab page search bar. If you want to try this right now, you'll need to grab yourself a copy of Chrome Canary and turn on two flags (paste these into the address bar): "chrome://flags/#customize-chrome-color-extraction," and "chrome://flags/#ntp-comprehensive-theming." Once those are turned on, picking a Chrome wallpaper from the "customize" button in the bottom right of the new tab page will also change the color of the tab bar.
Redditor Leopeva64-2 spotted new flags in the latest nightly builds that will automatically recolor the Chrome UI based on what wallpaper you pick, just like Android. It looks like the beginning of Google's color-changing "Material You" design language is finally coming to Chrome, at least in the canary builds.
