Complete redesign of Google Calendar: The web application now uses Material Design 3 – more than two years after Gmail. Google points to more modern control elements, more legible fonts and icons as advantages of the update. Functionally, however, nothing should change.
At the same time, Google is introducing a native dark mode for the web application; users no longer need to install browser plug-ins. Users can activate the mode manually if they wish; alternatively, the calendar will adapt to the client's default settings. All these changes also apply to the task view, which is part of the calendar.

Google is introducing the new design automatically for end users and commercial customers; Workspace administrators do not need to do anything. However, Google points out in the announcement that some Chrome extensions for the calendar may no longer work correctly.
