Google is apparently working to bring the Virtual Desktops features from its Chromebook platform to the top-level UI. Meaning that users will be able to access multiple virtual desktops at a click. That\u2019s based on a recent discovery in the Chromium Gerrit by Android Police.
\nSummarily, the change-up will put access to the Virtual Desktops directly on the main screen of the Chromebook interface.
\nSo how do the new virtual desktops work on a Chromebook?
\nAs shown in the images below, captured by the source, the way these new virtual desktops will work for Chromebook users, following the update, is straightforward. In fact, it\u2019s never been easier. Although there are still some bugs to work out.
\nTo begin with, users will see the new virtual desktops UI on their Chromebook from the minute they log in. That will be shown in the top margin of the display, comprised of a thin, grey bar. Within that bar, which Google is calling the \u201cbento bar\u201d users will see any virtual desks they\u2019ve set up. Or at least the labels that users have given those. In the example shown below, the labels \u201cAP,\u201d \u201cDesign,\u201d and \u201cChickens\u201d have been set up.
\nA click or tap on any of those labels immediately switches to the corresponding virtual desktop.
\nThere will also be a UI that\u2019s more similar to what\u2019s seen in current iterations of virtual desktops in Chrome OS. Accessible via the three-dot overflow menu at the right-hand side of the bento bar, users can expand the strip to show thumbnails of their open virtual desks. And another option is available to hide the strip altogether.
\nThese won\u2019t necessarily be arriving anytime soon
\nNow, the bento bar isn\u2019t available yet. It\u2019s not even on the Chrome OS Canary Channel. And it isn\u2019t even showing up as an experimental flag feature yet either. So it likely isn\u2019t going to be arriving anytime in the near future. If it appears in the Stable Channel at all.
\nThat said, the feature does appear to be far enough along that Google likely won\u2019t abandon it. And Google\u2019s focus on switching enterprise Chrome OS updates \u2014 where this will likely prove most useful \u2014 to a longer update cycle could play into this too. So, if and when it does arrive, it will undoubtedly be with a big milestone update. That\u2019s as opposed to a more standard monthly update.<\/p>\n
