Android 13 is almost here

Before, Material You was one of the most common ways to customize your Android aesthetically. Themed icons, advanced personalization, and even a new media controller will dazzle you with their novel looks.
Android 13 will continue along this vein with all-new Material You presets, schemes and themes. These designer skins carry over to every part of your Android ecosystem, allowing for a unified, attractive look without the hassle.
