<\/a><\/p>\n Chrome OS has received update version 28, aligning the internet-based OS with Chrome for mobile<\/a> and for desktop<\/a>. The update brings forth some of the same improvements we have seen on Chrome 28, but Chrome OS gets a few extra treats! Let’s jump in and see what your next update has for you. <\/p>\n Chrome OS users are now able to scale and rotate their monitors. We are not sure many of you will use it, but it could be helpful if you use a monitor in vertical mode. I have tested the features and they work quite well! I can manually rotate the image 360 degrees. <\/p>\n This will probably be the improvement you will notice the most. The file manager has been revamped with a new panel UI, allowing us to browse our files more easily. The update also brings support for Google Drive files in the “Shared with me” and “Recent” sections. <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Using a touch screen on a laptop-optimized browser can be a bit hard. The text, links and buttons tend to be too small and you may end up “clicking” links you didn’t intend to. <\/p>\n Chrome 28 helps solve this issue by highlighting any links you touch. You can simply drag your finger away if you notice yourself tapping the wrong link. If you press and hold for long enough, the “right-click” menu will show up. <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Of course, this only works with Chrome OS devices with a touchscreen. So… only the Chromebook Pixel. <\/p>\n Aside from the richer notification improvements, Chrome OS 28 also adds notifications for screenshots. Simply take a screenshot and the notification will pop up. You can also click anywhere on the notification to access the photo of the screenshot taken. <\/p>\nChrome OS monitor rotation and scaling<\/h2>\n
