Chrome OS Login Screen Gets Polished – Guest Mode

by Dinu

Man, it feels great to be able to bring you Chrome OS news and updates everyday ! Thanks a lot hexxeh !

With today’s update, Chromium OS has a better logging login screen. Default user icon got a little better look now. Btw, after I opted not to use the web cam to take a profile picture for me, I didnt see an option to change the default picture to something else.

The feature that lets you use Chrome OS device without logging in, without leaving any history, or cookies, etc was called incognito browsing so far, just like the browser. From today, they have started calling it “Guest Mode”

There is an icon with a “+” that lets you add new user to Chrome OS, ie, login using a different Google ID.

Enjoy the video !
