A recent update to the Chrome OS Canary channel (the bleeding edge, updated daily, but buggy) brings Material Design update to Chrome OS login and lock screens.

My Toshiba Chromebooks seems to be on an old build, even though I am on Canary channel. However, according to William Greene, this is currently working in Canary channel build 61.0.3125.

I have told this many times, but here it goes again. Material Design update on Chrome and Chrome OS is a gradual process, a long-term plan. We can count this update as one of the many pieces in this long overdue makeover.

This new design should reach you within couple of months. For now, take a look at these screenshots and wait. Switching to the Chrome OS canary channel to see this new look is not recommended!

Comments, thoughts? Do you like this new design? Is it too MacOSy?
