- JB 5 months ago Reply This doesn’t work for me, for whatever it’s worth. Info: Chrome 140.0.7339.51 Android 13; moto g stylus 5G (2022) Build/T2SDS33.75-38-1-3-30 The flag setting is there. No issues changing it to enable, etc, but it doesn’t seem to do anything. Still get the old look with Material style. Thoughts? JB
