One of our favorite things about Windows 11 is its use of rounded corners and subtle “glitter material” transparency effects. Of course, these design elements only appear in native Windows apps.
But the latest Chrome release (version 96) includes an experimental UI mode that, when enabled, makes the browser fit the Windows 11 design language, reports Review Greek.
“Windows 11” mode
As discovered by Windows Latest, Chrome 96 “Windows 11” mode adds rounded corners to the browser, its context menus and some pop-up elements. Other fluid design elements, such as transparency effects, also appear in “Windows 11” mode… even if they are used a little sporadically (it seems that Google is still working on this feature).
Interestingly, the new “Windows 11” mode works in both Windows 11 and Windows 10. If you are a Windows 10 user with a desire for the latest and greatest, you can enable this experimental feature to make your desktop a little more beautiful .
To enable Chrome’s experimental Windows 11 mode, upgrade to the latest Chrome release (version 96 or later) and follow these steps:
- Paste Chrome: // flag in your address bar and press enter.
- Search for the “Windows 11” flag.
- Activate the flag and restart your browser.
No errors encountered
We have not encountered any errors or strange crashes with “Windows 11” mode enabled, but you may be less fortunate. If Chrome works with this experimental user interface enabled, just go back to the Chrome flag, search for “Windows 11” and disable it.
As far as we can see, Google is still working on Chrome’s “Windows 11” mode. It’s likely to get more Fluid Design elements in a future update, and unless Google has a change of heart, “Windows 11” mode will eventually become the default user interface for the Chrome browser.
