Yes, it’s almost there. Google Chrome themes official themes gallery page is being set up. We will see it going online very soon. I got really excited when I saw this news on Techcrunch. Why ? you know that I love everything about Google Chrome, right ?
Techcrunch says that they found the theme gallery while deleting some thumbnails from the new sexy new tab page. Well, I did try that on Windows XP, Windows 7 and Ubuntu, and I can also confirm that this is true. So, What’s the URl where you find this new theme gallery for Chrome ? Go here. You will see a 404 not found page there now. But, with the next dev update or stable update, you can see the gallery live.
Until now, installing new theme or changing to the default one was really tough. You should download theme theme file, and place it inside a particular folder, and then try to change it etc. But, when the new theme gallery is live, you will see new themes being installed and uninstalled in few mouse clicks. Plus, you get a single web page to browse a large themes database.
So, wait for the next news from me, when everything is ready, and live. Happy Google Chrome Hours for you all !!
Google has released a new stable version of Chrome with more features, and increased browsing speed. More features have been added, so, check it out.
