This new position is more prominent than the previous location, but you must now navigate to the homepage if you\u2019re already in a conversation. It helps make the side panel a bit less cluttered.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re seeing this change rolled out to all our Gemini accounts on the web today.

Previously, the four Google colors were only around the pill-shaped prompt box.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Upon activating the overlay today, the perimeter of your screen sees the glow. It\u2019s predominantly blue, while red, green, and yellow appear towards the bottom.
