Chrome OS, after Windows and macOS, is reportedly getting a dark mode which has been in high demand over the past few years for its benefits on general readability as well as eye strain, according to a report by Android Central.
As per the report, the Canary version of Chrome OS has an experimental version of dark mode.
“It may only be accessed via Google’s “bleeding edge” developer mode of the browser, but that could indicate that it’s being readied for a wider rollout soon,” the report stated.
If you want to activate dark mode on your Chromebook, you must have the Canary channel installed.
As per sources, there are currently several bugs within the dark mode setting as it is still in the trial stage.
It seems dark mode will apply across the user interface and not only appear as darker backgrounds.
Earlier, the tech giant has rolled out the dark theme for its Gmail, Google Calendar among others. Last year, both iOS and Android also began supporting dark mode features at the system level.
The US-based technology company has also recently launched a dark mode for its Assistant-powered smart displays like Nest Hub.
“Dark theme changes the colour scheme of the interface and reduces light emission, so it’s easier on the eyes at night while still providing you with visual and touch access,” the company said.
