Gemini Live looks to be getting a dark overlay that closely aligns with the app\u2019s main UI design and color scheme. Whether you\u2019ve actually used Gemini Live before or not, you\u2019ve probably seen what the app looks like. It has a dark color scheme that wasn\u2019t quite represented with the original style of the overlay. Even after Google changed up the design a bit to make it more compact recently.<\/p>\n

It seems Google is going to change that, although it\u2019s not exactly clear when these changes will happen. If they happen in the first place. It\u2019s worth noting that these details for the visual change were discovered by Android Authority in the latest beta app version of the Gemini app. With that being said, there\u2019s no confirmation that this is a change Google will roll out to the public. Although Android Authority thinks it\u2019s pretty likely, and we\u2019d have to agree given the style of the new design matching Google\u2019s main UI.<\/p>\n

The Gemini Live dark overlay has a few key visual tweaks<\/p>\n

The big changes with this new design are the colors and the shape of the overlay. In the current version of the overlay, while part of the color scheme is blue like this unreleased darker version, the top half of the overlay is more of a gray or off-white color, which is not really in line with the UI in the app. The regular color scheme is basically black and blue. That\u2019s what you\u2019ll see with this new overlay.<\/p>\n

The color scheme is black and blue, just like the main UI. Google has even changed the color of the buttons on the overlay to black. Additionally, it has changed the shape of the overlay, as it\u2019s now pill-shaped. It essentially looks like Google\u2019s search bar (just a little thicker) with all of the Gemini Live-specific buttons.<\/p>\n

Google isn\u2019t just shaking up the design of the overlay, though. It also appears to be testing a new visual style of the floating widget. The only real change here is the shape. Its current shape is a rounded square, but this new floating widget design in testing shifts the shape to being completely circular. It\u2019s a minor change, but it kinda fits more in line with the style of Google\u2019s other UI elements. Google also seems to be changing up the animation with the Gemini overlay. The in-testing change sees the overlay create a little more bounce after the user activates it. This is as opposed to just floating into view. These and the other changes are likely part of Google\u2019s shift into Material 3 Expressive, which it announced a little earlier this year.<\/p>\n
