Circle to Search shimmer adopts new Google color scheme

Circle to Search shimmer getting new Google color scheme

After adding Pixel Screenshots "Save" integration, Circle to Search is updating its shimmer animation to use the four Google colors.

Since the January launch, triggering Circle to Search has resulted in a shimmer animation radiating out from the Search bar that uses a blue and purple color scheme that matches Gemini and its sparkle. This is despite CtS not really having anything to do with Gemini. That’s now changing, with Circle to Search introducing a new blue, red, yellow, and green palette, or the four Google colors. This more closely aligns CtS with Google Search and Lens for thematic unity. Another possible change is how this new shimmer appears to be most prominent at the top and bottom of the screen in some instances. Google might be steering clear of the middle where you’re most likely to circle, highlight, scribble, or underline. These new colors are also apparent when activating Song Search. We’re seeing this change with the latest Google app beta (version 15.50) today. It’s not yet widely rolled out.
