He's known on the community due to how his mockups are done, being more visually appealing and be different from other mockup creators. Chromatic also owns Chromaverse, a Discord server known to house friendly and less problematic creators.

Pre-OSM (September 2015 – June 2016)
Back in September 5th 2015, Gabriel started his channel at the age of 9. And uploaded his first video introducing his channel. At that time, Gabriel (known as Gabrielgamer580, Xx_GabGamerYT_xX, GabGamerYT at the time), started to make videos series such as Minecraft Mob Battles (the most popular one being Spikezilla VS The King), Super Mario Flash 2 and MUGEN videos. However, these videos weren't successful to make his channel gain subscribers and views. (Around 30-50 subscribers and a ~75 of views)

Discovering OSM (June 2016 – February 2017)
He discovers OSM with Angel Toon's famous video called Windows End-Of-Support Versions. Along with this, he discovered MinderiaYoutuber along with his Windows History with Never Released Versions (Update 4), and met tons of more content creators on the community during the time (such as Luigi2012SM64, Santuchi, Windows Supporter, etc...)

A fresh start
In February 2017, he finally makes his first OSM video inspired from MinderiaYoutuber, known as "Windows History with Never Released Versions" in separated parts due to the long amount of time it would take to upload an hour-long video, along with rendering/exporting it.

Channel's popularity increasing
In July 2017, thanks by bringing Windows Never Released on his channel, Gabriel reaches 100 subscribers and starts to get known by the community due to the creation and lead of WNR content and gradually improving. Which led him to create an account on Discord, a popular group-chatting app. Later, Gabriel later switches to Update 5's premade templates and becomes his main source when it comes to create WNR episodes. In September, Gabriel uploads a video called Windows Xth of X Versions (a fictional era), which makes him more popular. This becomes the most popular video on the channel (36k views). In December of 2017, a Revision 2 came out.

The lack of interest
Back in January 2018, Windows Never Released 14 was released, in that video, it featured Update 6, a fan made sequel of Minderia's Windows History with Never Released versions Update 5 by Sky Pink Dog TTR. However, Gabriel hasn't made any episodes about it in 3 months. Due to an increasing lack of interest into making mockups, in April, he uploads a final OSM Video called Windows Nether History where at the end of it explains his retirement.

The comeback
This wasn't the end, many people unsubscribed and complained about the retirement, although, Gabriel, whose Minecraft content was really underrated, decided to comeback and got more motivated, by posting a video announcing his comeback.

The transition
In September 2018, within a poll made back on a now defunct old Discord server, GabGamerYT rebrands his username ChromaticGamer. The design and source of making WNR didn't change other than the channel's banner and identity. After releasing the 19th episode of WNR, stuff regarding Article 13 have appeared, a law regarding copyright by the European Union and that would take effect on YouTube, later Gabriel creates a new YouTube channel named as ChromaticFR, where he would upload new content to his channel. But since the Article 13 did not take effect, Gabriel comes back to YouTube once again.

Update 7: Revived
Update 7 was a Fan-Made Update Kit created by Chromatic back in 2019, it's intention was intended to dominate over Update 5 trying to be fancy and different from what other update kits featured. It's slogan used to be "The Power Fantasy starts now" given by P.T.A. The kit was discontinued and then finally cancelled in October of 2020 due to his retirement on Minderianism. In favor of Chromatic's OSMK continuation known as Heavenite Mockups Kit.

Generation "Aleph" (January–July 2020)
Gabriel is known for changing his designs and all divided by generations. Generation Aleph was one of the projects from Chromatic, named after a level from Geometry Dash. And started since August of 2019. During this transition, his channel gained more popularity due to his changing WNR content.

1000 Subscribers
Chromatic reaches 1000 subscribers on YouTube on the 9th of April 2020. This was celebrated on his Discord server in a Discord chat along with a face reveal on his channel. This was all thanks to the help of Jaroslav, one friend of Chromatic who helped on advertising his channel to others.

Generation Aeternus (July 2020 – Present)
Generation "Aeternus" would be the latest and yet the last generation of his identity for his social media. Featuring the combination of the three symbols he used on the previous third generations onto his channel. This was in help of two content creators, Cryster (formely Jexx), and fluenC (formerly Cobalt) who are (mostly) the helpers for Chromatic's visual content and more.

Everywhere at the end of Minderianism (October 2020 – 2021)
Due to the amount of dramas people made out of Chromatic's update kit for mere trivial stuff. He decides to move on from Minderia's community, aswell discontinuing anything that is related to Minderianism. Being Operating System Mockups 39 the last episode from Chromatic using Minderia's content for his Windows Mockups.

The discontinuation of Update 7 lead him to continue one of his abandoned kits that would be an unofficial sequel of the OS mockup kit.

The development of the kit began for Late 2020 and in January 22nd of 2021, the first version was released to the public.
