Tasker update brings support for Material You colors on Android 12

Material You’s wallpaper-based theme engine, codenamed “monet,” finally went live in Android 12 Beta 2. Although Google has yet to publish documentation on Material You, we have already seen a bunch of third-party app developers implementing wallpaper-based dynamic theming in their apps. Back in June, Tasker became one of the first apps to add support for Android 12’s dynamic theming. A beta of Tasker with the new Material You option was released to Google Play last month. And now, Tasker developer João Dias is finally bringing the feature to the stable version of the app.

Tasker 5.13.5 is now live on Google Play, and it brings with it support for Material You colors on devices running Android 12. To try it out, navigate to Preference > UI > Theme and select the “Material You” option from the list. Once enabled, Tasker’s action bar, bottom bar, various menus, toggles, and text will match the colors of your wallpaper.

Check out Tasker’s new theme in action in the video attached below:

Another Material You-related feature in the latest Tasker update is a new action called “Get Material You Color.” The developer says this action allows users to extract all possible Material You colors from the system and use them in various Tasker Scenes. To learn more about this feature, jump straight to 0:48 in the above video.

Besides Android 12-specific features, the latest Tasker update brings a host of new additions, including the ability to position your scenes on the status bar and navigation bar, new Connect to Wi-Fi action, support for exporting descriptions of your projects, and much more.
