Your Googlebook has a hidden app that turns its Glowbar into a disco
Google hid a party trick inside its signature laptop light strip.
Googlebooks, the laptops from Google, possess a concealed app that transforms their Glowbar, a light strip on the lid, into a disco atmosphere. The glowing light strip not only indicates battery status and signal strength but also serves as an Easter egg for users. Though the disco effect was previously observed, Google has officially acknowledged the existence of a hidden app behind it.
The company also intends to enable developers to incorporate the Glowbar into their own app experiences. Major manufacturers such as Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, and Lenovo have been granted considerable freedom in customizing the appearance of their Googlebooks. However, to unify the look of all Googlebooks, Google devised the Glowbar, a strip of light capable of displaying battery status and Gemini activity.
Google's Senior Director of Product for Laptops and Tablets, Alexander Kuscher, disclosed the Easter egg during an interview on Android Faithful when asked about his favorite Glowbar feature.
