Chrome OS gets Material Design makeover and new hybrid layout in version 50

Google's Chrome OS has received a Material Design revamp in its latest update which bumps the OS to version 50. 

The Chrome revamp keeps the same basic layout but gets a lot of design tweaks. It gets a refreshed menu button, which is borrowed from Android—a vertical column of three dots. The Bookmark folders and fonts has also got a new look. The browser also gets a new default theme and a completely overhauled Incognito theme with dark color from the tabs to the toolbar.

It also includes a more spaced-out Hybrid layout, aimed at hybrid devices like touch enabled Chromebooks. Google says that this will enable "better touchability while compromising as little as possible on productivity".

Google says that the interface is now rendered "fully programmatically" that allowed Google to remove upwards 1,200 image files used by the system, and Chrome OS should scale much better across resolutions.

Chromebook users will start get the new interface, once Chrome OS is updated to the latest version. The changes should also make their way to Chrome on Mac/Windows in the near future.
