You won’t believe what’s next for Android! Tune in to the The Android Show | I/O Edition May 12 at 10 am PT for a look at the future.
Set a reminder at Android.com/io-2026 and be the first to know 🗓️
The pixel illustrated Google Now design language of Lollipop and Jellybean was superior to Material/Material You.
If many devs would switch to it just as they did with M3 Expressive, I’m gonna quit Android and go touch some grass instead.
I was a fan of this style when Vista did it. I was a fan when Apple did it, I’m a fan of it now. Give me blurry glass everywhere pls.
You voiced your opinion, which adds original, human made content and promotes social interaction on the platform. The fact that someone downvoted you really grinds my gears. Downvoting buries content, it makes it irrelevant and undervalued.
Lurkers too lazy to post a comment and instead using “downvote” as a “disagree” button should stop doing that and actually compensate for the bandwidth they consume on the platform with their comment, whatever it is, as long as it is respectful and constructive.
Also: I like liquid glass but I think it should be more moderately used. I think sometimes where it is overused it can be bad for legibility and usability.
Listen I will fully admit it can be garish when overdone (like on ios honestly) and heavy on system resources for no good reason. But aesthetically? Aesthetically it kinda slaps!
I don’t get what the big deal is about a theme.

Oh I’ll answer this it’s because they decimated the modding scene. Literally any and all of the fancy features and little niceties ended up coming from Little mods from the mod scene and we’re not doing that anymore so… How do you be innovative when the people you were stealing the innovations from stop innovating because you actively saught to prevent them from innovating.

Can’t wait for them to update 20% of their apps with it.
Why didn’t we just keep the old 3D style HUH? NOBODY ASKED FOR MATERIAL AND NOBODY WAJTS IT
FUCKING FINALLY
