Chromizer - Theme for Google Chrome is easy, convenient, fast.
Modern browsers are often used programs for both work and entertainment. In this connection, not only technical characteristics are important, but also the possibility of additional configuration and, of course, design.
I often use Google Chrome and at some point I became interested in how you can change the standard look of the application.
Main options
Google Theme Gallery
Programs in the spirit of CRX Theme Creator, Chromium Theme Creator
For me, most of the topic is the wallpaper of the new tab. This is the largest element, the panel I prefer not to change - to quickly navigate in a visually familiar environment. A quick change of wallpaper tabs would be a compromise between an extensive set of features, but with a lot of time to create your theme and speed, and at the same time, simplicity.
Looking for solutions to quickly change the wallpaper of a new tab, I did not find anything and decided to write a simple tool and at the same time delve into the internal "kitchen" of Google Chrome.
Theme for Google Chrome is a special type of extension. It consists of a zipped archive with a special key, a manifest.json style file and theme pictures.

With Chromizer, you can quickly create both decorative themes and themes that contain useful information: formulas, tables, a pixel grid, and so on.

Main options
Cons of available solutions
Google Theme Gallery
- The choice of topics is small
- In addition, in many themes, usability suffers, since, for example, the tabs are designed in such a way that it is difficult to read the text, it is unusual to perceive the window frame in bright and variegated colors, etc.
Programs in the spirit of CRX Theme Creator, Chromium Theme Creator
- Programs that I managed to find - for windows (I work on a MacBook)
- Time spent on creating a theme - start the program, specify pictures, think over the colors of panels, buttons and other elements - it’s not a fact that you get a good combination of colors from the first time, because not everyone is gifted with a sense of beauty
