Debian-based system – the browser in full screen mode – navigation in the headline

Beyond a very poor facts announcement, Google has not yet divulged all too much about its future netbook OS ChromeOS. Actually, Google wanted to reveal first details in the next few weeks. But the fact that a central part of the software is being developed fairly open, means that now the first concrete information has leaked.

Chromium

Under the Chromium project, the base of the Google Chrome browser, added recently builds, in addition to normal Windows, Linux and Mac versions, also a separate version for ChromeOS. This can be downloaded from the servers of the project and brought up to current Linux systems to run.

Browser Central

It turns out quickly that Google Chrome seems to actually become the central planning – and exclusive – interface of the operating system. Accordingly, Chrome has a clock built into the title bar, including information such as battery level and the current network connection to display here.

Compact-Nav

Since some of the functions that are usually accessed via a menu bar are now duplicated in the title line of Chrome, it must be assumed that the browser operates in full-screen mode under ChromeOS. There is also a new compact-Nav-bar-mode by both URL line as well as navigation is also migrate into the browser’s frame.

Applications

Also new is a button on the left upper end of the title bar. It links to a login at Google Short, a service that is related to the Google Apps service, meant to gather clear links to websites. It can be assumed that Google will use this overview in ChromeOS as a kind of menu for the various online applications.
