ChromeOS to Introduce Sunrise and Sunset Wallpaper Scheduling

ChromeOS is about to give users more options regarding wallpapers with its new scheduling logic that goes beyond accounting for just the local sunrise and sunset times. The new "modes" will be set for the "morning" and "late afternoon" periods that cover the first and last thirds of available daylight on any given day. This will provide users with more opportunities to change their wallpapers without lifting a finger.

Last year, ChromeOS finally introduced automatic dark and light mode cycling, which allowed not only the GUI to change colors based on the time of day but also changed the wallpaper. Thanks to commits recently merged into Chromium Gerrit (via 9to5Google), users will have additional opportunities for wallpaper changes during different portions of their day. These modes are meant to bring convenience by automatically changing the wallpaper at different times throughout the day.

The morning mode wallpaper is intended for use at dawn or early morning, while late afternoon mode is ideal for dusk or later evening hours. As previously noted, the regular light mode still applies between these newly added modes. All three should cover most parts of any given day if configured properly by users who can access this setting via system settings once it’s been enabled on their device(s).

As such, these new additions should prove incredibly convenient for those who enjoy changing up their desktop backgrounds now and then but don’t have time or energy (or even remember) to do so manually each time they want something fresh displayed behind whatever apps they’re running at any given moment within Chrome OS environment itself.

In sum, ChromeOS has made some exciting advancements when it comes to its features explicitly related to wallpapers – a welcome addition that many were hoping would become available sooner rather than later after debuting the automatic dark/light cycle feature last year! With this latest development regarding sunrise/sunset scheduling logic now enabled/merged into Chromium Gerrit, as referenced above, we can expect user experiences involving background aesthetics within the Chrome OS ecosystem to be significantly enhanced moving forward!
