    Has anyone started skinning their Chrome OS?

    Just wondering if anyone has started trying out the themes/skins for Chrome OS on the Web Store. Would be cool to see a couple of your home screens (screenshots).

    If you haven't already you can find skins here:

    Yes! I'm using the brushed chrome theme. Soon as I figure out where to post my screenshot, I'll but something up.

    I didn't like any of the themes, they made the tabs and bookmark bar too dark and hard to read.

    I think I'll be adding a photo gallery here so that we can share pics like that.

    As for the Chrome themes, I'm personally disappointed. The themes are too complicated with too much going on. It would be good if Google encouraged developers or artists to do more subtle designs. anyways, thats just my take

    Here is my first attempt. This is the Brushed Theme. Simple and clean, just like I like it.

    How do the inactive tabs look? I found with almost any color they were too dark to read.

    That particular theme sets those colors and fonts. I use a combination of pinned tabs and extensions. I like to keep the desktop clean and uncluttered.

    Your welcome. It was as close to something Chrome as I could find. Looks cool with the black notebook also.
