    Google has started rolling out the ChromeOS 104 update to all eligible Chromebooks, including the ones made by Samsung. If you own a Galaxy Chromebook, you can now download the ChromeOS 104 update and get access to plenty of new features.

    The ChromeOS 104 update finally brings proper dark and light themes. Changing them also alters the look of the launcher, shelf, files app, settings pages, and more. You can switch between dark and light themes from quick setting toggles. Google has also added a few wallpapers that turn a little dark when the dark theme is activated.

    Google Chrome OS 104 Mini Calendar

    The ChromeOS 104 update also brings a Files app that shows all your files stored locally on the machine and Google Drive. There is a mini monthly calendar that can be accessed by clicking on the date and time section on the shelf. The redesigned app launcher now takes up less space than earlier and even shows Google Play Store results when you search for apps or games that aren't installed on your Chromebook.

    The new update also brings a full-featured Gallery app that can also open PDF files. You can fill out PDF forms, annotate them, and even sign PDF files. Right-clicking on the shelf and selecting the Color option lets you change wallpapers, themes (auto dark and light theme setting is also available), and screen savers. You can choose between three screen saver styles: Slideshow, Feel The Breeze, and Float On By.
