My first attempt at making a theme for Chrome/Chromium that fits in with the “New Wave” window border theme.
I have also posted the theme on deviantART. For those interested in learning to create your own themes check out these two sites:
- Chrome Developer’s Documentation for themes
- And a handy How-To theme tutorial

Theme has been updated so that the buttons appear the correct color in Chromium version 4.0.257.0

for some reason the icons on minimize , close and maximize don’t turn into those of your screenshot, have you changed those manually?
Wow, that’s awesome !
How do you create a Google Chrome theme ?
@chriskin – In Chrome’s preferences under the “Personal Stuff” tab, I have the Appearance set to “Use system title bar and borders” – which in my case, uses the New Wave theme that comes with Ubuntu.
my buttons look different from the picture, i think you need to update the theme, i’m using version 4.0.249.0
Note to everyone, yeah the buttons have gotten darker as of updating Chromium to version 4.0.257.0 (Ubuntu build 32926) – Will address this in the near future.
Cheers for the theme, exactly what I was looking for.
