Google is rolling out new Chrome OS update that will add new features including a new launcher with a built-in Google Now for Chromebook user and Chromebox.

The update dubbed Chrome Launcher 2.0, is available for users on the Chrome OS beta channel.

Compared to previous launcher, that only showed a pop window when opened to see installed apps, the new launcher opens up bigger window in the screen center, similar to Google Chrome's new tab menu. The window would have a Google's logo on the screen and a search box. It will also show four of the most recent apps used by the user.

According to reports, the new update might bring a new design for Chrome apps i.e., Google Material Design. The Chrome OS files is also getting a new look.
