I’ve been using the beta for a while, this is definitely one of my favorite releases. I wasn’t using very many extensions before v6 because I’m using a ton of different computers and it was a huge pain to keep them in sync. Now I can manage all of my extensions simultaneously, huge help! The UI update is also really nice. I wasn’t too happy with the color change from blue to gray, but a blue theme fixed that pretty quickly.

thank you for your comment !

well, I have a feeling that chrome default theme’s journey from light blue to dark blue shows stages of getting close to chromium OS … chromium os has dark blue theme.. . and with each update, chrome is becoming dark blue in color ..

Hey, where did you get the blue theme? I’m too not very happy with that gray toolbar, but I can’t find a design that’s near to the old lightblue appearance.

Thank you! That’s it. I still have no clue what the Chrome developers had in mind when doing the gray theming … btw, here is a ‘blue’ extension for Chrome on Windows I found meanwhile: https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/ilkecpolncpdeefgdlnhmmdghkmonfkk?hl=en-US#

At the end, it will all be black :P

Iam on dev channel, so I have already version 7. But nice for the guys who have the stable. At the moment, I don’t use more than one computer, but when school starts, I have this nice feature.

Should make gone go button and new icons optional. Also should allow dragging of star.

sounds ok, but aren’t extensions enough ?

Maldar September 4, 2010 at 12:17 am

and eventually extension support for in the bookmarkbar, I think developers could do nice things with that bar.
And of course, bookmarkmanager with favicon support, hahaha :P

chrome story September 4, 2010 at 12:26 am

any idea, of an extension that can make bookmarks bar better ? or add a feature ?

Maldar September 4, 2010 at 6:20 pm

an extension that puts info on that bar. like a clock for example. But what u say, extensions that could make the bar better, are also nice :P like favicon support :P

chrome story September 4, 2010 at 7:03 pm

aren’t favicons supported now ?

Maldar September 4, 2010 at 7:05 pm

I mean, add or change favicon’s of bookmarked links. Because some of mine are that white default favicon’s. And I don’t like it.
