Material You — sztandarowa nowość Androida 12 — oficjalnie dostępna jest tylko na smartfonach z linii Google Pixel.It is only in the future that the interface color adaptation function to the wallpaper is to hit the phones of other brands.
Samsung did not wait for Google and implemented in the ONI UI 4 overlay..Until now, everything indicated that both technologies would be incompatible with each other.Samsung does not even appear on the list of producers interested in Material You.
What was my surprise when after the installation of Android 12 on the Galaxy S21 Ultra it turned out that Samsung and Google did not tell us everything.
Android 12 and One UI 4: This is how the color palette works on Samsung smartphones
After selecting any wallpaper, the system asks if the user wants to change the color scheme within the entire interface.3 combinations differing in shade or a combination of colors are proposed.
Below are some examples of how the interface changes after setting different wallpapers.
Just pulling out key colors in One UI 4 works well, but the software always uses pastel colors.Even if some wallpaper has vivid, strong saturated colors, a graphic theme created on its basis will be subdued anyway.It is a pity that Samsung does not give you a choice in this field.
However, something else is more interesting.
Okazuje się, że Paleta kolorów współpracuje z aplikacjami Material You
After changing the graphic theme in One UI 4, the appearance of Google widgets and applications also changes.
So the solutions of Material You Google and the Samsung color palette are compatible with each other, although both companies do not boast about it.
I am happy because developers will not have to modify their programs for two different standards that do exactly the same.
Unfortunately, Material You are just crawling.Even as part of the Google ecosystem
In order for the application interface to adapt to the graphic theme, the app must be modified by the creators.And that the market shares of Android 12 are marginal, for now hardly anyone is eager for it. I — niestety — dotyczy to nie tylko zewnętrznych deweloperów.
There are as many compatible applications with Material You as the cat has cried.Even Google has not yet developed with the adaptation of all his apps.
Chrome, gmail, play shop, photos, disk, Keep notes, Duo or Google One work with Material You perfectly.In the case of maps or calendar, only the coloring of the widgets is modified, but the applications themselves are not.In Google, YouTube, Google Pay, Google, Home, Fit or Gboard I haven't noticed any changes.
Effect?Even the widgets and applications of Google himself look terribly inconsistent at this point.
In the case of selected programs, support for Material You has already hit the beta version, so soon the list of compatible programs will be expanded.It is a pity, however, that Google did not modify all his apps until the day of the release of Android 12.A month will pass from her right away, and the company is only halfway.Weak is an example for external programmers.
So when it comes to material you and the color palette, it's good, but it could be a lot, much better.
