Google’s iconic white search page finally changes
Google earlier this year rolled out dark mode in its search app on Android and iOS platforms. Now the company offers dark mode to search the web.
According to a 9TB5 Google report, Google has started A / B testing dark mode for desktop web search.
From now on, when you search for something in Google search, you see a white background with text appearing in black while highlights, like the name of a website, appear in blue. In dark mode, which is currently being tested, the white background is replaced with a dark gray background similar to what we see in a number of Android apps. While highlights remain blue, text that appears in black, such as names and links, appears in a lighter shade of gray in dark mode.
Apart from that, the multicolored Google logo that appears in the top left corner of the search appears in white. The microphone and search icons, on the other hand, remain unchanged. Another thing that remains unchanged is the icons representing various filters such as All, Images, News, Videos, Images, etc. They appear in gray in both light and dark modes.
When it comes to desktop webpages, the company claims that very few of these webpages have a dark theme. The list includes Google Keep, YouTube Music and YouTube, among others.
All in all, this functionality is still in the testing phase and therefore available to a selected group of users. So don’t worry if you can’t see a setting yet to enable this feature.
