Google Chrome Theme Website Live

google chrome browserThemes were added to the beta version of the Google Chrome web browser (also known as the Google browser) not long ago. It was more or less an unfinished feature back then with only two test themes released and the official theme website not working even though the button to open the theme website being already implemented in past versions of the Google browser.

The Google Chrome themes website is now live and the button leads to a page that is currently displaying 28 new themes for the Google browser plus the original classic theme the web browser ships with. The themes can be installed by clicking on the apply theme button that is located beneath every theme thumbnail.

The Google browser will download the selected theme and install it automatically. The theme of the browser will be instantly changed after the download without having to restart it. Google Chrome does not come with a theme manager yet. The only way to uninstall themes is to enter chrome://extensions/ in the address bar of the web browser. This internal page displays all installed Google Chrome themes with the option to uninstall them.

    The new themes available have endeared me even more to Google’s awesome browser!

    Others may still prefer the overly bloated and lethargic Firefox, but I prefer the simplicity and elegance of Chrome.

    Plus, no other browser even comes close to it’s sheer speed. It’s lightning fast!
