A Solarized Dark theme for Chrome

Solarized Dark for Chrome/Chromium

All credit for the awesome color scheme goes to Ethan Schoonover (see http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized).

Installation

Click here for the CRX (you will be asked whether to apply it once the download finishes).

To install from source, you need to open the extensions page (chrome://extensions) and enable Developer mode if needed. In Developer mode, there is a button 'Load unpacked extension', just use that to select the folder.

Why Doesn't it Look Perfect?

Because Chrome themes have limited capabilities. (Note: it has nothing to do with me!). At some point I will create a user stylesheet to complement the theme, and also attempt to fix the remaining details once I find out whether and how they can be fixed.

Here are some of the questions:

  • the address bar -- on Linux, how to change the background color?
  • the #footer background on the NTP -- can it be changed?
