Something big coming up for chrome – Oh yeah… its extensions again

Posted on August 03rd, 2009 in chrome

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Themes have been available on Chrome for a while, but they used to require you to download files and know which folder to drop them in. It was also hard to revert to the original one. This latest build allows for push-button skinning and an easy way to revert. You can find two of the Chrome themes on this page (theme.crx is “Camo,” theme2.crx is “Snowflake”). Click on them and then click “download” on the next page from within the new build of Chrome to install them.

Here is a Pic from Techcrunch, showing the new chrome extensions page which is coming very soon.

The site, which will reside here, is not live yet. But on the default new tab/new window page, the one with the thumbnails of your most visited sites, if you click on the “X” to remove some of them, a themes page shows up as a thumbnail (see included screenshot from techcrunch above).
