I don't care for the overall look of 12 at all. It seems every article I've read about beta has focused on the whole material you/wallpaper theming and nothing else and I don't like it at all.

Generally I don't bother too much about the android redesigns, I just go with the flow but I'm hating this.

Firstly, from what I've seen regarding the wallpaper theming, I get the same 3 colour hints no matter what wallpaper I choose and it's nothing special. Though I've never been into theming anyway.

Secondly, those new folder icons are awful. I'm still hoping it's a bug and not by design.

Worst of all is the lack of contrast. Open a folder and long press an icon for the menus and it all merges together with the folder background. Also any icon with a white "plate" background merges in with the folder background. They have almost eliminated shadows and the really need to bring them back if nothing else. And the keyboard has the same problem. No shadows on the keys so there's barely any contrast. Maybe it's just my eyes but I find the whole thing a massive step back from the android 11 look.
