<p>A tipster did the kind deed of leaving 9to5Google with images showing a new dialer and messaging app interface in Android 4.4, along with a new icon for the messaging app.</p><p>I personally like the new look of the dialer app, since I prefer lighter interfaces. There isn't much to say about the messaging app without seeing the way a thread looks, but considering it's Google, I think it's safe to say it's going to be neat, tidy and gradient-free.</p><p>Also, it looks like the theming capabilities we had been expecting in Android 4.4 won't be restricted to just the manufacturer or the user, but individual developers too. You can clearly seen in the images that the notification bar is a dark shade of blue in the dialer app and green in the messaging app.</p><p>As a developer myself, I would definitely enjoy the ability. Even though it's only a few more pixels, it does seem to give your app a more immersive experience of having taken over the entire device's screen, without harming the user experience of the notification bar.</p><p><a href="http://phandroid.com/2013/09/22/new-android-4-4-screenshot-leaks-reveal-redesigned-messaging-dialer-apps-and-more-theming/">Keep reading...</a></p><p>Read also:</p><p><a href="http://www.droid-life.com/2013/09/22/images-reportedly-show-android-4-4-kit-kat-ui-changes-new-dialer-messaging-and-more/">Images Reportedly Show Android 4.4 "Kit Kat" UI Changes New Dialer ...</a> (Droid Life)</p><p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2013/09/22/alleged-android-4-4-images-reveal-redesigned-dialer-messaging/?utm_medium=feed&utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_campaign=Engadget&ncid=rss_semi">Alleged Android 4.4 images reveal redesigned dialer, messaging app</a> (Engadget)</p><p><a href="http://www.gsmarena.com/leaked_android_44_kitkat_screenshots_make_the_rounds-news-6838.php">Leaked Android 4.4 KitKat screenshots make the rounds</a> (GSMArena.com)</p><p>Explore: <a href="http://news.google.com/news/more?ncl=dMl9qoXLcoxOJsMv--jkNJ1DvrAcM&ned=us">61 additional articles.</a></p>
