Update – How To Enable Material Design Extension Page in Chrome OS
Material Design elements are making their way into Chrome OS at a snail’s pace. But, when you find something that can be setup in this new, sleek look, it’s kinda fun. The latest, at least as far as I can tell, is in Chrome 56 which allows you to enable the look on your Extension page. I’ll preface this with two points: First, I do not recall seeing this setting in Chrome OS 55 or earlier in the Stable channel. It has been in the beta and canary channel. Second, I’m assuming, but not sure, that this is in the Chrome browser as well. I use a Chromebook so I can’t verify. If you can verify this flag works in the Chrome browser, let me know and I will update this post with proper credit of course. Thanks to John Borgen for confirming that this feature is indeed in the latest build of Chrome browser!
The new Material Design extensions page is not enabled by default but it can easily be set with a flag inside of Chrome. That new flag is chrome://flags/#enable-md-extensions or you can just go chrome://flags and search Material Design and find it there (and a lot of other things that can get an MD make over.
