Quick tip for today. Nothing intense, but a fun new feature nonetheless.
Setting background is an activity I take part in a few times per week, usually. It involves finding an image, downloading that image,launching the Wallpaper Picker, choosing your freshly-downloaded wallpaper and choosing a crop.
This isn’t really hard, but any time we get to save steps, it feels like a nice step forward. Google has slid in a new feature in the Files app for Chrome OS that allows users to simply right-click on the image and select “Set As Wallpaper.”
Simple. Fast. Convenient.
It’s what we all love our Chrome OS devices for, right?
