Google’s Pixel 11 Pro boasts a nifty HiLight notification LED, but out of the box it’s more of a “meh” than a wow factor. By default, this glowing gem only illuminates when your phone is face down and you’re chatting with Gemini or when a favorite contact calls—pretty basic, right? And even then, the choice of five colors feels like Google ran out of paint swatches before hitting “finalize.”

Enter Dhananjay_TheTech, who thought, “Let’s spice this up!” His app, HiLight Studio, lets you customize the LED to react to just about any notification—new Slack messages, Instagram likes, even that pesky low-battery alert. But here’s where the logic gets a tad wavy: Google couldn’t figure out how to tie the LED to Gmail or YouTube directly, yet Dhananjay_TheTech magically made it work for Slack? Maybe he’s got a secret deal with the app gods.

Still, you might wonder if the customization comes at a cost. Does HiLight Studio drain your battery more than Google’s original setup? The article doesn’t say—perhaps because it was too busy celebrating the color options to notice the power meter. And what about compatibility? Will this work on every Pixel 11 Pro or just Sammy Lord’s test unit?

Finally, let’s roast a bit: Google’s “favorite contact” rule is like saying only your best friend can give you a shoutout—so who’s left for the rest of us? With HiLight Studio, Slack lovers rejoice, but what about the silent texters and the occasional missed email from Aunt Mildred? The LED might be bright, but is it really useful for everyone? Google could’ve taken a cue from Dhananjay_TheTech early on—now we have an app to fix a feature that was practically born ready. But hey, at least now your Pixel 11 Pro can glow in the dark and still make you look cool!
