Customization in Android Q Developer Preview 3
The biggest changes in Android Q Developer Preview 3 (Android Q DP3) is the customization. There are various tweets in the system which allows for each section like lock screen and system. There are three themes from stock Android and the ability to choose a font. What's new is, you can change the colour of the horizon light. This is what everyone was waiting for since long. And it's there finally.
Smart Display Mode
The Smart display mode for the ambient display is also tweaked to the liking. Now, it shows calendar events, music and other controls when it's predicted by OxygenOS.
