What’s Changing?
Previously, Gboard’s Dynamic Color Theme used four distinct color sets for:
- Letters
- Shift, Emoji/Comma, Period, and Backspace keys
- ?123 key
- Enter key
With the new update, several keys now share the same color, including:
- Shift, Emoji/Comma, Period, Backspace, and ?123
- Enter key (bottom-right corner)
- 2×2 grid icon (top-left corner) for accessing additional functions
This change applies to both phones and tablets, creating a more uniform and consistent keyboard appearance. The Dynamic Color still adjusts based on your wallpaper, and the dark theme now appears even darker.
When Will You Get It?
The beta version of Gboard introduced this update in late October, and it later rolled out to the stable version.
As of today, Gboard version 14.9 is seeing a widespread release of these Dynamic Color updates across both stable and beta channels.
How to Enable It?
If you don’t see the changes yet, try:
- Force-stopping Gboard from App Info
- Switching between system light and dark themes to trigger the update
Beta-Only Update: New 2×2 Icon Design
For users on the beta channel, Gboard has also updated the 2×2 icon. It’s no longer inside a circle, which breaks its visual alignment with the voice search button.
