ChromeOS

• ChromeOS 117 brings the Material You design language to the OS, which changes the look of many UI elements, including Quick Settings, the date tab, and the notification panel.
• The redesigned Quick Settings panel has a cleaner and more organized look, with rounded rectangles instead of circles for each control.
• The date tab now has a ‘Join’ button to directly attend a video call, and you can see multi-day events.
• The notification panel now has entirely new feed sections, and it will notify you if your camera or microphone is in use with a green dot.
• ChromeOS 117 also adds Dynamic Colour theming, which changes the system theme based on the wallpaper. You can also choose from four accent colours.
• Adaptive Charging is a new feature that helps preserve battery health by charging to 80% and then completing the charge to 100% based on an ML model’s prediction for when you will unplug your device.
• ChromeOS 117 also brings new accessibility features, including built-in colour settings that allow you to enable colour filters for protanopia, deuteranopia, or tritanopia, or view the display in greyscale.

Overall, ChromeOS 117 is a significant update that brings a number of new features and improvements to Galaxy Chromebooks.
