The replace does not deliver large performance adjustments, but it surely does include fairly a notable user-facing transformation. Android Auto is now that includes Materials You design components, and the brand new colourful accents present up all through the UI to match what’s in your telephone.
Adjustments in accent colours have been observed in numerous system components with Android Auto 13.4. These components embrace buttons, toggles, and even background colours of playing cards and menus. The Materials You design language was current (in a really restricted capability) already inside music apps, for instance, the place their UI components had been altering to match album artwork.
Locations the place you’ll be able to see the brand new colours embrace the Settings menu, notifications, and the notification middle. It is advisable to have the setting for matching your telephone’s wallpaper turned on to see attention-grabbing colours although.
At this level, plainly the transformation hasn’t been completed and appears to not be working at its greatest. Once you change the colours in your telephone, for instance, it will not at all times mechanically replace the colours on Android Auto. Generally, it’s good to force-stop the Android Auto app and reconnect, and generally, the colours will not change in any respect.
It looks like Google shall be refining this over time to make it higher replicate the customizable Materials You design language. Regardless of that although, I discover this transformation very handsome. In spite of everything, Android Auto is an app that means that you can see your telephone’s apps in your automotive, and it makes quite a lot of sense if the appears to be like of your telephone UI are additionally mirrored in your automotive’s dashboard. Hopefully, Google shall be fast to refine issues so these change if you replace your telephone’s colours as properly.
