Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Google is preparing to make the icons on the Settings homepage more colorful. This is part of Google’s effort to redesign the Settings app to be more expressive. It’s unclear if colored icons are part of Google’s new Material Design 3 Expressive theme. Earlier this week, we found evidence indicating Google will introduce an expressive new Material Design theme at next month’s Google I/O developer conference. Although several mentions and potential exa

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Google is working on a visual refresh for the “Autofill with Google” settings page. Changes include new icons, edit options, and clearer outbound link indicators. However, some sections retain inconsistent monochrome icons. Autofill with Google is an underappreciated feature on popular Android phones. Google saves your data, such as name, address, and even login information, and automatically fills it out on web forms and sign-in pages. Most users tak

iPhone Glass: When Windows 7 launched back in 2009, one of its standout features was its sleek, glass-like interface – subtle shadows, rounded edges, and a sense of depth that made windows and buttons feel almost tangible. Now, if this massive iOS 19 leak is to be believed, Apple seems to be channeling a bit of that same magic for the next iPhone refresh. Apple's iOS 19 update is set to debut at WWDC in June and is reportedly bringing with it the biggest visual overhaul in a decade. One of the

TL;DR iOS 19 preview leaks hint at UI redesigns, including rounder icons and bouncy animations. A new TabView dock could unify navigation within Apple apps, with third-party support likely. One of iOS 19’s headline features for the iPhone 17 Pro could be simultaneous front and rear camera recording, something Samsung debuted with the Galaxy S4 in 2013. The iPhone 17 series will be Apple’s hot launch of 2025 with a refreshed design, but the company has a lot more in store this year. iOS 19 is

While there may be debate about whether iOS 19 will be a UI revolution or evolution, there does seem to be a consensus view on app icons. Namely, that they are likely to switch from squircles – squares with rounded corners – to circles. Whether one looks better than the other is of course a matter of subjective judgement. But there is a small problem with circular icons … If you look at current iPhone icons, they can be broadly divided into three: An underlying square design An underlying ci

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Google is testing new icons for various status bar elements like WiFi, mobile data, airplane mode, and battery level. We previously spotted the new designs for the WiFi, mobile data, and airplane mode icons last year, but the battery level icon has been significantly revamped since we last saw it. Instead of having a white background at all times, the new battery level icon we spotted in Android 16 has a vivid green background when the device is chargi

Iconography of the PuTTY tools [Simon Tatham, 2025-03-12] Introduction In March 2025 I received an email asking about PuTTY’s “logo” – the icon used by the Windows executable. The sender wanted to know where it had come from, and how it had evolved over time. Sometimes I receive an email asking a question, and by the time I’ve finished answering it, I realise it’s worth turning into a blog post. This time I knew it was going to be one of those before I even started typing, because there’s a

Near the end of January I was pointed to a twitter thread where a Windows user with a powerful machine was hitting random hangs in explorer. Lots of unscientific theories were being proposed. I don’t generally do random analysis of strangers’ performance problems but the case sounded interesting so I thought I’d take a look. Update: if you are running Windows 11 then this issue is now fixed for you, according to the status updates on this github issue. If you are running Windows 10 then… sorry,
