I often run different versions of Chrome and needed a theme to visually differenciate one version from another. Most other themes were too busy for my liking.
So the goal here was to create a theme that
- has no noise, so there’s no skeuomorphism, gradients or pattern backgrounds
- has no distractions, so there is no images of unicorns, fluffy cats or the brats of my nephew.
- is visually discernible so at a glance I have context as to which version of Chrome I’m working with.
For some, my choice of color or the lack of pictures may be distracting, even worse, disturbing. Colors and minimalizm means different things in different cultures.
Here’s how it looks like
If you think my shade of purple is a tad off, I’d love to see what you had in mind. Fork this repository, make a change, and if you’d like, submit a pull request. We may debate which shade of purple is the right purple and experiment to see how well it works.
