Chrome OS 104 is the new version of Google’s operating system for Chromebooks… and for those who want it, thanks to ChromeOS Flex. If that’s the case for you, pay attention because there’s some exciting news coming your way.

Coming on the heels of Chrome 104, ChromeOS 104 sees this browser-based operating system and the internet giant’s services follow the same version numbering, plus receive all the changes implemented in the browser. So when it comes to Chrome, everything is said.

However, there are a few new system-exclusive features for ChromeOS that users will undoubtedly like as they basically provide improvements on various fronts and greater customization options, perhaps the highlight of this release.

So ChromeOS 104 finally releases support for light and dark desktop modes. No, exactly what was there. New now is a polished combo so you can enjoy the desktop with a single click, or if you prefer, without delegating to system automation.

Or what is the same, you can manually switch from light to dark theme whenever you want, or you can set automatic switching: daytime, light theme, night, dark theme. the difference from the previous mode is that it will have an accent color according to the predominant color in the wallpaper.

Speaking of wallpapers, with ChromeOS 104 you can use your images from Google Photos as your desktop background or screen saver slideshowwith the option of selecting images that adapt to the new chiaroscuro dichotomy.

Of the advanced ones from Google, they are not all that are, but they are all that are when we talk about the news of ChromeOS 104, including those related to customization, but also other more practical ones that will be deployed throughout the system in the next few weeks , so be patient.

For example, a revamped Gallery app that introduces PDF viewing and editing features; a new calendar dropdown list in system tray hours in the style of any self-respecting desktop and of course integrated with Google Calendar.

A new image and video editor is expected later, which is an application screencast and others to take notes by hand writing, among other things.
