After waiting (semi) patiently, I finally got the dynamic Gboard update. I like the looks and hope it continues to flow into other segments of the UI.

Cool! It appears to be slowly rolling out. I check my KB daily and nothing yet. Will be a nice surprise someday.

Yeah, totally agree with you. I'm one of the more impatient people here. It sucks being impatient sometimes, that's for sure. :-(

I received it on my Pixel 4a at some point this week, not sure when. Since I prefer a blue keyboard it seems to have very little effect.

Just got an update for Gboard from the play store and low and behold, dynamic color for me

Man I can't wait for 12 to go public, it's the first version to make a major visual overhaul in Android's history. Probably why it's the only os update I've ever been excited about Finally something brand new to look at I've been staring at similar screens since froyo 2.2.2 :-\

There's more "new" to Gboard beta for A12 than just Dynamic Color.

So, I thought I would update everyone for that Smitty's glass wax I bought off of Amazon for $12. it's a great idea in theory. Waxing on your glass screen to make smudges easier to take off or to prevent them completely. In reality / practicality, if not very good. One reason why things for your phone and your pocket, most if not all the Wax is worn right off. The other reason, is it supposedly only lasts a few days at a time. So you're constantly having to reapply it to your screen. I just thought I would update everyone for this it's a good product absolutely, but it's not very realistic / practical unfortunately :-(.

Thanks for the update. I am so sorry it didn’t work out too well in the end

You know honestly, it's a great idea it really is. Similarly with oleophobic coatings from Amazon which are a little bit more expensive. It's a little tube of glass wax with a chamois inside of it. The idea like I said is great. But it's not realistic and practical for everyday usage. I even forced myself to put my phone in my book bag sorry pocket to not put in my jeans pocket lol. But forced to have it you're going to put your phone in your pants pocket etc etc oh well....

Just to verify, you both are on Android 12 Beta 3?
I am and haven't seen those on my Pixel 4a.
