Those that have been keeping watch on Google Chrome OS developments know that a brand new window manager and UI is coming, Aura, shared by the desktop Chrome as well, which will enable hardware accelerated graphics in the UI.

But the feature has another trick up its sleeve, it will also add wallpapers, for the first time, to Chrome OS. And, like any operating system worth its salt, it will also come with a number of built-in wallpapers.

Those wallpapers have now become available, all 50 of them, and you can check out François Beaufort's Google+ photo gallery to see them all. Better yet, you can download them all in a conveniently packaged ZIP archive from right here on Softpedia.

Developers that compile their own Chrome OS, strictly speaking Chromium OS, have been able to play around with Aura. The Hexxeh builds also have it enabled if you want to see it in action.

How much RAM will those images take? Only the new Chromebook and box has the 4GB RAM. Just how much of that is used for video?

The ChromeOS has potential. Pump the CPU and other specs, and who knows.....
Maybe a $299 Chromebox, with higher specs would sell well. Samsung is a good name for quality. People need to get their hands on these, and talk to salespeople which can explain it all to them. BestBuy? Oh well, that's a start ;) Or maybe not, as so far I see no Google laptops or the little box within the BestBuy store.
