There should be a color picker for both light mode and dark mode accent colors.

We see the new dynamic theming feature as more modern and intelligent. A simple and delightful experience that we hope all users can get to enjoy.

Current solution is like two steps back, because there are missing options which were available earlier, and dynamic colors are not always chosen correctly. Besides that, someone could like to choose all kinds of accent colors by themselves.

It is not "delightful" in the slightest and the feedback in this thread is universally negative. A few words picked from the above ~15 comments:
"destroyed, pain, frustrating, don't take features away, sad, killing good features, bad move, pissed, b********, makes no sense".
If you, Google, intend to market "Material You", then let us make these choices for ourselves. This plan is quite inconsistent and actually contradictory....

Citing some of from the Google blog:
From the beginning, Android has always been about personalization [...]
Android 12 is more [...] personal than ever before.
Unfortunately I cannot agree with that quotes, A12 is less personal now. Personalization options are being taken away just to implement Material You (which IMHO should be an extension to the existing user experience, not the complete replacement of it). Material You is great in many aspects, but not in all of them.
Besides that, the color-only personalization would be kind of meaningless to the colorblind people 😉 As well as the whole system in similar colors will be less accessible, even for not colorblind people (like the new Settings app).

Pixel and Google isn't about letting us choose what we want anymore. Now they tell us what we want just like Apple does.

But Atleast Icon customization should stay.
It's high time for google to take on more pixels users who are vary of OnePlus.
But some customization options should stay and more should be introducted. AoD, icon packs etc..
This just makes pixels launcher less exciting. Note that OEM doesn't get afftected by this. It just google and their pixel software experience being hammered.

We get it, Google. Material You is fresh and innovative. And you are excited for everyone to try it out. But understand that shapes, colors, and fonts are not just aesthetic embellishment for users, they're also accessibility needs for many. And taking away the option to address these needs is irresponsible. This is still the platform of "Choice and Openness", right?

Again, please keep it in, it's such a minor thing in the scheme of things and could be supplemented with the features you're looking to add as an additional option.

Your "basic colors" are super light and washed out and hard to see, and on dark mode they look terrible. Currently there are no good options for dark mode that look anywhere decent. Please give us choices to make our phones feel like they are own again.
Love the work y'all are doing,

I'm not able to choose desired icon shape (most of pixel users used oval shape, now we're missing this alot),
I'm not able to choose desired color,
Then what's the use of improvement / Material YOU...

Font choice and font size are accessibility features that aren't found in accessibility features.
If they were, I wouldn't be here, now would I?
Just come out and say it already. You devs think this is intelligent, but it's actually just exclusionary behaviour from people who don't think about being visually impaired all that much.

If you insist on forcing these changes on people, at least provide a way to get back the old theme options and customizability. I want true dark mode back on my Amoled screen also.

Removing our options to theme and change icons with these stupid balloon like characters that resemble comic sans demonstrates what a complete lack of aesthetics you all really have.
Poorly done. I guess my next phone will NOT be a pixel.
ro...@pmi-ops.org <ro...@pmi-ops.org> #71
Please bring the following features back, and let ME decide what I consider as being aesthetic:
- ability to change the shape of the icons
- ability to change the shape of the symbols in the status bar
- ability to change the font
- increase the number of accent colors back to 8 (just 4 basic colors in Material You - are you kidding)
- colored icons in settings so that one can identify frequently used settings just by color without really reading the text
Nobody, nobody asked you to remove these features. And all of them are perfectly compatible with a mess you call "Material You" design. Btw "You" should be read as "Google", i.e. it's "Material Google" not me.
vi...@keepler.io <vi...@keepler.io> #72
I can't stand the lack of options I have for themes with this update. The new style is absolutely offensive to my eyes and it's more than enough to have me switch phones. Am I being dramatic? Maybe, but I paid a lot of money for this phone. and the customization was part of the reason that made it worth it to me and I paid all of that money just to have my hands tied in the end. Garbage move, Google. I stay away from Apple products for this reason. Even if the options get brought back, I don't see myself buying a Google phone again because I know how little thought you put into your decisions. Nothing bothers me more than somebody that makes changes because they think they know what's best for ME.
The damage is already done for a lot of us but I suggest you fix this problem sooner than later.

I spent eight years on the iPhone before making the jump to the original Pixel. If Google is simply going to strip away the customization and flexibility I switched for in the first place, then yeah, I'll go back. Go ahead and call my bluff.
It is extremely disappointing to see Google going down this route.

I'm disabled and I use said customization to get around my disabilities. This decision was clearly made by abled bodied managers who have no clue about disability adaptations. By taking away that said customization, they are contributing to disability discrimination. This is revolting.

I'm not trying to be rude, but I am genuinely shocked that this API doesn't exist in Google Cloud Platform. How are you supposed to effectively manage your costs if you can't easily query what your current spend is via an API? For a platform as large as GCP, the lack of this capability is not acceptable.
Even smaller cloud platforms like Linode (Akamai), Digital Ocean, and Vultr, have simple, easy to use REST APIs that expose month-to-date billing information.
https://www.vultr.com/api/#tag/billing/operation/pending-charges https://docs.digitalocean.com/reference/api/api-reference/#operation/balance_get https://techdocs.akamai.com/linode-api/reference/get-account
AWS offers this as well, although their API is unreasonably complicated.
Looks like Azure is working on it for certain "types" of subscriptions.
