Aero - Extra Black Chrome Theme Extension

"Aero - Extra Black" is a Chrome extension that provides a simple, elegant black theme compatible with Windows 7 Aero. It transforms the browser's appearance by making background tabs transparent black and focused tabs opaque, offering a visually pleasing contrast when Aero is enabled. The theme may experience issues with the Manifest V2 deprecation, and the creator plans to rebuild it if possible. Despite recent Chrome updates altering the look on different OSs, this theme maintains a dark aesthetic, with a mention of an alternative version featuring gray/white background tabs for those preferring slight variation.

Aero - Extra Black Just a simple plane black theme that works with windows 7 Aero theme. Background tabs are transparent black, focused tabs are opaque (when aero is enabled).

NOTE: In a recent update chrome changed something so the top tabs may not look how you want them to on different OS's. ChromeOS and OSX seem to have some of the odder looks now, but you might be happy switching between this theme and the other linked below. I will be working to resolve these issues/build an additional theme that resolves the issues once i can figure out that that issue is :D

This is the same theme only it has gray/white background tabs. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/black-theme-aero/epjeeohjfjgmnfpemiceoglbnnieffoh?hl=en-US
