Oh my... Google finally listened 😭🙏
Well, we are just as shocked as you are, and honestly, we can't believe it either... but Google is finally adopting a long-requested feature from its user base.
We are talking about the ability to remove and customize the infamous Google Search Bar on the home screen.
Previous hints of this feature were already discovered in the Android 17 QPR1 Beta 2 code, but today we are showcasing how it has actually been implemented and what it will look like in the QPR1 stable release.
By accessing the home screen settings, you'll be greeted by a new "Search bar settings" sub-menu, which will let you disable or enable the feature. When enabled, you'll be able to completely customize the look of the bar, from the hue and saturation to the shortcut.
For a visual reference, we've attached a short video clip.
What do you think about this new addition?
Does it meaningfully improve your Pixel user experience or is it just a small gimmick?
Let us know down below!

With big screens comes great expectations... maybe? 💻✨
Ahead of today's Google IO 2026 event, the overall expectations are quite high. So far, all we can do is wait a little longer and see what Google’s got up its sleeve.
But based on previous statements and rumors, Big G might finally give us a first glimpse of its upcoming Desktop OS, the one set to replace ChromeOS (possibly as early as late 2026): AluminiumOS, also known as Android Desktop.
As we've promised a while back, we have some juicy informations for you, and now we're here to deliver: By clicking right here, you can take a look at how the OS is going to look like... and yes, this is all running on a MacBook Pro through UTM... ironic, isn't it?
Now, let’s be honest: Google’s ALOS is no secret. It’s essentially plain Android, but with most of the desktop-experience quirks you’d expect, including:
•Desktop folders
•Virtual desktops
•An optimized Quick Settings & notifications panel
•Touchpad & keyboard gestures and shortcuts
•Certain optimized apps (like the task manager)
•A solid ecosystem between your laptop and mobile devices, including Apple ones, through "Link to iOS"
However... here comes the delusional part:
As of now, that’s pretty much it. The current state of ALOS feels closer to a slightly pimped version of Samsung DeX than to an actual desktop-class OS, with its biggest shortcomings being the absolutely non-existent selection of mouse & keyboard optimized apps (even most of the Google apps you see are just web versions wrapped in a window!), plus the limited hardware it’ll run on (cause let's be honest, Snapdragon X chips aren't nearly as good as Apple's M series)
Still, we’re keeping our fingers crossed for some good news from Google this evening
Do you think ALOS has a bright future ahead? Or is it destined for the infamous "Killed by Google" graveyard sooner rather than later?

After the Android Show announcement, a lot of people thought Google's about to copy Liquid Glass 😭🥀
But well.. that's not what's happening here.
Instead, it seems like Google's heavily expanding blur effects across the UI in Android 17!
From what we've seen, blur has been added to:
- Volume slider and expanded volume panel
- Power menu UI
- Lockscreen shortcuts and notifications
- Home screen context menu
We've attached some screenshots for a visual reference 👀
What do you think about these changes?

NO WAY.. Google is finally giving users actual Material YOU 😭🎨
It looks like Google is preparing a pretty major upgrade for the Wallpaper & Style app.
We've discovered a brand-new color customization UI that allows users to manually adjust Material You colors and color variants 👀
Google added a dedicated color slider that lets users fine-tune the exact accent tone instead of being limited to the usual color palettes.

Following tradition, here's the full Pixel 2026 (Pixel 11) series wallpapers collection.
Make sure to share them!
(although they lowkey suck 🥀)
