Less than a month ago, the Paranoid Android team introduced a new Recents Style view in their ROM, which was inspired from Android L. The team has since then been rolling out alpha and beta builds to improve the latest addition to its build, and make it usable for day-to-day usage. 

Today, the PA team has rolled out another beta of their ROM that brings about some design improvements to their new Recents Style view.

With this new update, the new Android L style Recents View will display the app name along with its action bar color, which when combined with its slightly tweaked layout should make it easier for users to distinguish between various apps.Its a small change, but one that makes a world of difference in usability.

The full change-log of the update is below:

– Design improvements for recents
– The calculator was made themeable
– Merged upstream Theme Engine changes merged

The builds are already live and can be downloaded from Paranoid Android’s download center.
