Create A Custom Skin For Google Chrome,My Crome Theme
Date 1/3/2013
Firefox users have two options when they want to change the default theme of the web browser. They can either install a full theme from the official theme repository, or use
My Chrome Theme
Chrome users can use the app to create their own custom theme that is not that different from Firefox’s feature. It takes three configuration steps to create the theme. You select a photo or image from your computer, or use a connected webcam to create an image in the first step. Once you have uploaded the image you can adjust the image’s position if necessary, select to upload a new image, or continue to the next step.

The fit to screen, fill screen and tile image positioning options use
the resolution of the monitor, and not of the Chrome window, when
selected. Keep that in mind, especially so if you are not running the
browser in full screen all the time. One option would be to resize the image as you see fit before you upload it in the browser.
The second step of the process lets you change the following four colors of the browser:
You need to name your theme in the last step, and can add an optional
description as well. A new page opens afterwards with an install button
to install the theme locally, and a share url in case you want to share
the theme with other Chrome users. Pro tip: Upload a single color image if you only want to change your browser’s frame, tab and background colors.
Theme creation is really easy, and if you manage to get the right image or photo, it can look really nice. Remember that the background image is only shown on new tab pages, which is different from Firefox Personas which is shown in the header. Chrome users who want to give it a swirl can install the My Chrome Theme extension at the official Chrome Web Store.
You can delete themes with a click on the My Chrome Theme icon on the new blank tab page. All of the themes are listed on the page. Just hover your mouse over one and select the delete button to remove it from your browser.
