Instead of a gray background that muted things, the container is now white like on iOS, Android, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/gemini.google\/mac\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">app\u2019s download page<\/a>. The Gemini spark is also a bit bigger now.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the sidebar, the Library icon has been updated to better match other platforms, while the top-right corner buttons for Temporary chat and Minimize have been scaled down.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Google has also updated Settings to no longer be one long page. Instead, the side panel groups preferences into Appearance, Shortcuts, Personal Intelligence, Gemini\u2019s voice, About, and Debug.<\/p>\n<p>\tAdvertisement &#8211; scroll for more content<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Old vs. new<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\"  alt=\"\" data-height=\"1820\" data-id=\"718143\" data-link=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/?attachment_id=718143\" data-url=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/06\/Gemini-app-Mac-old-settings.jpg?quality=82&amp;strip=all&amp;w=801\" data-width=\"1424\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Gemini-app-Mac-old-settings.jpg\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\"  alt=\"\" data-height=\"1292\" data-id=\"718142\" data-link=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/?attachment_id=718142\" data-url=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/06\/Gemini-app-Mac-new-settings.jpg?quality=82&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" data-width=\"1624\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Gemini-app-Mac-new-settings.jpg\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Mac app has some Neural Expressive components, but we\u2019re still waiting for a full redesign that was shown off at I\/O 2026 last month.
