Summary

A theme for Ubuntu users who want something dark, especially to fit in with a black or charcoal desktop theme.

The pics show the whole browser in window mode, and a closeup of the top-right corner. In the 2nd pic note the gradient continues into the Find bar (Ctrl+F).

The background for the New Tab page is just something I knocked up quickly, and tried to make it not too big, not too small (it IS just a page you'll look at for 2 seconds before using it to go to a site, but I still see people complaining to other developers about the pics being too small, so hopefully it looks OK maximised and in window mode). I did try an opaque Ubuntu logo, but didn't really like it, and after all this IS an Ubuntu theme, so I'm guessing most people could handle looking at it for 1.5 seconds before moving onto a site.

This theme is nice and dark (without going totally to black, which is kind of boring) and quite usable, so would compliment any Ubuntu system with a dark theme.

If you want a much more vibrant Ubuntu theme in rich browns, check out https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/comoeeifdcphanbbhmjdhjoelhkekflo. Stay tuned for more Ubuntu themes!

PS: Please actually install this theme before commenting (you can hit Undo, after all), as commenting on screenshots and not actually trying the theme is somewhat strange. Also, if you're not an Ubuntu user, then this theme is probably of no interest to you.

how do i delete this?

Like the theme. Works well with Ubuntu's default Ambience theme. Any chance of creating one just the same but with a bit better indication of the active tab?
