ChromeOS also gets more personal in August (version 104) with the ability to set wallpapers from the Google Photos library using the redesigned Wallpapers & Styles app.

You can also see your favorite pictures sway in the breeze or gently float across your screen with one of the new screensaver photo frames.
Finally, Google is finally getting system-level light and dark themes that touch every corner of ChromeOS.
Bonus: some new wallpapers are created for both themes, so your wallpaper will also subtly shift from light to dark.
