It appears that Google’s Chrome OS design team has been working lately to completely revamp Chrome’s user interface by changing almost everything, including the typography, icons, colors, shapes, heights, and even the Omnibox dropdown. However, the new look it’s only available for touch and convertible devices for now. If you have a touch or convertible Chromebook and you want to try the brand new interface of Chrome OS right now, you’ll have to switch to the Chrome Canary experimental channel. But first, please try to keep in mind that Canary is an alpha, developer-oriented version of Chrome that might be quite buggy.
