Dev tools appears different

My version of Chrome Dev Tools on a Windows machine appears to have less options than Nick's does in the video. For instance,the rendering options he selected were not available, and I'm not seeing anything in settings that lets me add anything in, either.

Hey Aaron, I made this video to show how it's done on the newer version. Also, here's a link for rendering settings. Let me know if that helps you out.

Seems like the video hasn't been updated and it's been a year. Still showing the old panel.

Hey Aaron, if you can give me some more information on what you're not seeing, maybe I can get some information on that for you. Otherwise, I'd recommend Chrome Canary for the latest features.

Thanks, just downloaded Canary, however, I'm seeing the same discrepancy. First thing I notice is the layout. Nick's left pain shows Events, Frames, and Layout with associated icons, whereas mine just has two check boxes with Capture stacks and Capture memory. On the bottom of his are checkboxes for Loading, Scripting, Rendering, and Painting, which mine also does not have. Later he changes settings under the General -> Render settings to Force accelerated compositing and enable continuous page repainting. These weren't available to me either, that I've found so far.

Hey Dustin Matlock It looks like it's changed again! Any help? :D
