Gboard is rolling out a brand new feature. Now Gboard for Android is adding support for dynamic navigation bar that matches the theme of keyboard itself.
So if you set your Gboard color to Red then your navigation bar will also be Red, earlier the navigation bar used to be black or white despite of whichever color your keyboard has. And If you’re using a picture as your keyboard background then navigation bar will pick the primary color from that image.
This is a Server-Side update rolling out in version v8.2.9 and v8.2.10 of Gboard. This update is not rolling out on mass scale as of now.

I read in the last release note about support to Emoji 12.0 emojis. But not able to see new emojis (even with beta), may be because I am using P, not Q.
