Leak Points to Android 17 Adding Custom Material You Colors, Theme Presets, and More UI Blur

A third-party leak points to long-requested, finer Material You controls that are absent from current Android 17 builds.

Overview

  • Images from an apparent early Android 17 build, shared by Mystic Leaks and covered by 9to5Google, show new theming tools for Material You.
  • A custom accent-color slider appears in Wallpaper & style with a live preview so users can pick an exact shade rather than rely on limited swatches.
  • The leak also shows four preset theme intensity options labeled Neutral, Soft, Bright, and Bold that change how strong colors look across the system.
  • Screenshots depict heavier blur effects across parts of the interface, expanding on earlier reports that Google is tuning Android’s visual depth.
  • 9to5Google notes these changes do not show up in current public builds and may land in a later Quarterly Platform Release, which is how Google often rolls out incremental features.
