Google Calendar gets a desgin refresh along with dark mode

Google said Wednesday that it is revamping the Google Calendar’s web interface following the Material Design 3 guidelines. The update also includes support for dark mode.

The updated elements include controls like button, dialogs, and a sidebar that are more “modern and accessible.” according to the company.

Screenshots on the Google Workspace blog suggest that the company is opting for more rounded or pill-shaped icons and dialog instead of squares or rectangles with edges, along with differences in color schemes as compared to current interface.

Google is also updating typefaces across the UI on Calendar to improve text legibility. Plus, there is updated iconography with a crisp look and easier readability.

The best part about the update is that the dark mode support is finally here. You can change this setting by going to Settings > Appearance and selecting Light mode, Dark mode, or Device Default.

Google added that these design updates will also apply to the task view list on tasks.google.com, along with dark mode support. The company said that the whole rollout will take a few weeks, so you might not see the design changes on your calendar interface immediately.
