ChromeOS 117 Revolutionizes Chromebooks: Material You Redesign, Quick Settings Overhaul, and More

Google's Latest Update Unveils a Sleek New Look and Enhanced Features for Chromebook Users

 

Notably, the volume and brightness sliders have been enlarged, facilitating smoother touchscreen adjustments. Two new tools make their debut alongside these sliders. The top icon, dedicated to Audio settings, allows users to fine-tune microphone and speaker input and output. It’s also the control center for activating Live Captions. Just below that, users can configure display settings, including enabling the Dark Theme or manually activating the night light.

Dynamic Color Theming and Accessibility Upgrades

ChromeOS 117 introduces Dynamic Color theming, offering users a choice of “one of four accent colors” based on their wallpaper, adapting to light or dark themes. Alternatively, users can opt for “more basic neutral colors.” These theming options are conveniently accessible in the Settings menu under the Personalization section.
