Google’s At a Glance widget for Pixel phones provides useful information, including weather updates, calendar events, upcoming flights, and even your fitness data, directly on your home screen. While it’s already handy, Google is testing new upgrades to present the information more effectively.

At a Glance is part of the Pixel Launcher and is available exclusively on Pixel devices. It is notably different from the eponymous widget, which can be applied to non-Pixel Android phones. The standard Android version lets you choose among solid, transparent, and semi-transparent backgrounds. With the solid and semi-transparent modes, the background color is either white or gray, depending on whether you’re using a light theme or a dark theme.
