The design needed to stand out on the desktop, look stable yet dynamic, and use color to show some Google branding. Through the design process, another quality that became important to the team was to make the icon feel like a real, tangible object so that clicking on it would be like pressing a real button.<br /> <br /> This June, <a href="http://chrome.blogspot.com/2009/06/join-google-chrome-icon-project.html">we invited users</a> to take the icon and actually build it in a new, creative way. Many people around the world accepted the challenge and submitted fun and surprising videos of their process.

For example, we've started building <a href="http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/">HTML5</a> capabilities into this beta release, including video tag functionality and web workers.<br /><br /><br /><b>Speed, Speed, and more Speed</b><br />Beyond the improvements in JavaScript execution in this latest beta, there are a host of other improvements that should help Google Chrome make the most of your network connection. For example, when you open a new web page while other web pages are still loading, Google Chrome is now smarter about prioritizing the requests for the new page -- for instance, fetching text, images, and video for your new page -- ahead of the requests from the older pages. Loading pages on this beta release should also be faster than ever with DNS caching, more efficient DOM bindings, and using V8 for proxy auto-config.<br /><br /><br />To try out these new features, you need to get on the <a href="http://blog.chromium.org/2009/01/google-chrome-release-channels.html">beta channel</a>. This means that your version of Google Chrome will regularly get updated with new speed enhancements, features, and bug fixes before most users see them. The beta channel provides a sneak preview of things to come with occasional rough edges, but it's a great way for us to quickly churn out new features and get your feedback.<br /><br />If you're interested in giving all these fresh new features a whirl, <a href="//www.google.com/intl/en/landing/chrome/beta/">download the beta version of Google Chrome</a>.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">Posted by Glen Murphy, Software Engineer</span> <span itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://plus.google.com/116899029375914044550' itemprop='url'/> </span> </script> <noscript> There's a brand new <a href="//www.google.com/landing/chrome/beta/">beta</a> for you to try out today.

So, if you've been dying for a browser that reminds you of the <a href="https://tools.google.com/chrome/intl/en/themes/theme_baseball.html">Friendly Confines</a>, or if you just want the comfort of your <a href="https://tools.google.com/chrome/intl/en/themes/theme_quilt.html">favorite blanket</a> when you're browsing the web, now you can have it. Of course, if baseball or quilting isn't your thing, you can change the theme of your browser by visiting the <a href="https://tools.google.com/chrome/intl/en/themes/index.html">Themes Gallery</a>. There is still some testing to do -- we're only launching some very basic themes and there are still some kinks to work out, but we will add more themes in the future as we roll this out to the stable version.<br /><br /><a href="https://tools.google.com/chrome/intl/en/themes/theme_desktop.html" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366310271018095858" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj75dWb91t0qvH5Z_JZEOazav1yztL2JImdYv0hGrjjyhVnqEshwmT9Nc0YU1CK1mpa-g4bYpScRnPwlPGqNox-6wPThPWSQj3YHCT2aD6zEQMNgTAhNEhZGUoXBpx_URmscofuBAQUZsOH/s400/theme_desktop.jpg" /></a><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">A sneak peek at the woody "Desktop" theme</span><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://tools.google.com/chrome/intl/en/themes/theme_grass.html" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366310817555511346" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQQmwu3R5MdnmmQ-6XWwjDuqXsrzuVaD8DHpEESsHuPnuzn3YcrYPU61E2w5tTaezqBfdFGNzrMSiQ-buTLE0_xHKjY_RnjzTlg2xge7cKFBXPQnQmPmBd1K2ZkYL0JHDG8nxDzE5I39k9/s400/Grass-Beta--Recent-Activities.jpg" /></a><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">...and your favorite website thumbnails basking on a grassy field</span><br /><br /><br /><b>Experience HTML5 capabilities </b><br />We're always trying to further push the things you can do in the browser. For example, we've started building <a href="http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/">HTML5</a> capabilities into this beta release, including video tag functionality and web workers.<br /><br /><br /><b>Speed, Speed, and more Speed</b><br />Beyond the improvements in JavaScript execution in this latest beta, there are a host of other improvements that should help Google Chrome make the most of your network connection. For example, when you open a new web page while other web pages are still loading, Google Chrome is now smarter about prioritizing the requests for the new page -- for instance, fetching text, images, and video for your new page -- ahead of the requests from the older pages. Loading pages on this beta release should also be faster than ever with DNS caching, more efficient DOM bindings, and using V8 for proxy auto-config.<br /><br /><br />To try out these new features, you need to get on the <a href="http://blog.chromium.org/2009/01/google-chrome-release-channels.html">beta channel</a>. This means that your version of Google Chrome will regularly get updated with new speed enhancements, features, and bug fixes before most users see them. The beta channel provides a sneak preview of things to come with occasional rough edges, but it's a great way for us to quickly churn out new features and get your feedback.<br /><br />If you're interested in giving all these fresh new features a whirl, <a href="//www.google.com/intl/en/landing/chrome/beta/">download the beta version of Google Chrome</a>.<br /><br /><span style="color:
