For the past couple of months Google has boosted its release updates for services but in the meantime the search engine giant did not forget to roll out update for its Chrome OS that has been slowly making its place in the mobile market. According to the latest post from Google on its Chrome Blog the company has now released updates for the stable edition of Chrome OS that will give users a new “immersive mode”, which will allow the apps to capture full screen of the computing device along with a toolbar, while the shelf stays hidden. Chrome OS users will be able to launch the immersive mode or full screen through a button, while the toolbar can be triggered by hovering close to the top reveals.
In addition, the latest version of the Chrome OS will also keep a check on scaling, as it allows the users to scale the UI elements according to the screen resolution of their device. Apart from this, the latest edition of the operating system also offers several other enhancements in user-interface that were not available to in the previous version of the OS. For more details see the original blog post of Google as under:
“The Stable channel has been updated to 29.0.1547.57 (Platform version: 4319.74.0) for all Chrome OS devices (edited 8/23/2013: except the Lenovo Thinkpad X131e). This build contains a number of bug fixes, security updates and feature enhancements. Systems will be receiving updates over the next several days.
Some highlights of these changes are:
– Kernel 3.8 landed on Pixel and Samsung 550.
– New “immersive” mode – hit the fullscreen button to hide the toolbar and shelf and until you hover at the top for a more immersive browsing experience.
– Pin apps to the shelf using Drag and Drop from the Launcher
– Default wallpaper selection will sync across all your devices
– Monitor Scaling allows you to scale the UI. Especially useful on Pixel to get some more space
– Two-finger history navigation
– App launcher Search just got cleverer
– It will dynamically learn what you search for
– Apps are more prominent
– It will search for you in the web store if you don’t have an app installed
Known Issues:
– The link to redeem your Chrome Goodies in the Files app is temporarily broken and will be fixed with the next release. In the meantime, please go here directly.”
