ChromeOS round edges are coming to give the UI a nicer look

ChromeOS round edges are one of the most anticipated upgrades to the system. But finally, some ChromeOS users are noticing this feature pop-up with a new upgrade. However, this feature isn’t available as a stable upgrade and only some users can get access to it for now.

For now, the rounded edges on ChromeOS are only available to developers. This design tweak is accessible via the ChromeOS Canary latest upgrade, and it gives a glimpse into the future. Soon, ChromeOS users will be able to enjoy rounded edges on their apps and other areas of the interface.

Over the past few months, Google has added the Material You feature to the ChromeOS interface. These additions bring laptops and tablets running on this software up to par with the design elements on Android devices. Adding rounded edges to the interface would be the next thing to follow.

Get ready for rounded edges that are coming to ChromeOS soon

If you are an Android user, you should be accustomed to seeing rounded edges across the user interface. This cuts across apps to the control center and even widgets. Round edges make the entire Android operating system a bit more beautiful to look at and use.

However, this has not been the case with ChromeOS, because Google owns both operating systems. While certain parts of ChromeOS play around with round edges, the majority of the system feels blocky. While working with a lot of apps across the screen, you’d notice the sharp edges of the apps’ layouts.

Minimizing the apps would also show pointy edges, unlike the round ones found on Android devices. This is a bit of an eyesore for some users, and Google is working on that. With the new ChromeOS Canary, developers can activate the rounded-window flag and step up the entire design.

Not only does the latest Canary update bring round edges, but it also allows users to customize how round the edges get. They can go from slight curliness to more pronounced curves on the edges of the UI elements. So, not only is Google stepping up the design of ChromeOS, but also giving users customization control.

For now, this update is only available to users of ChromeOS Canary and not the stable version. Google will make this update available to regular ChromeOS users in the coming months. While the exact date for its release isn’t clear, you can expect it to arrive with a coming system update.
