The launch of Firefox 3.5 has probably made Chrome nervous again (check out the updated Chrome vs Firefox post) as Firefox closes in with Chrome’s main advantage over its competitors, its speed. In any case, the incorporation of a theme directory with one-click installation for Chrome was anticipated.
Google has just launched an inventory of 30 contrasting themes with one-click installation on visiting the themes page for Chrome versions 3 and above. Version 3 can currently be downloaded by switching Chrome to the developer channel.
I found several themes to have poor blending of colors making it difficult to notice the text on the status bar and also the tabs, however there are a few themes with a ‘light’ combination that could actually be used, it boils down to your taste in any case. There should be several more themes added in the future and it might eventually be user-powered which would help the themes inventory really take off.
Personally, I’m not a big fan of themes, they reduce productivity, may take up a notch more memory and can distract your surfing experience, no harm in spicing things up visually if you are bored with the default look though.
