Love skinning programs and making them your own? Well with MyChrome you can skin chrome however you’d like! You may of noticed that you could install themes, but after some research you’ve probably come to realize that all the skinning programs are for windows only. Well never fear, cause I’ve noticed too! And I came to change that! So I present to you…. MyChrome!
MyChrome is a fully featured chrome theme creator! Although it’s in it’s very infantile beta stage, it’s still fully functional! You can change everything from the top bar style, tab styles, to the new tab background color and most visited buttons!
Here’s a few screenshots of MyChrome!
And here’s a screenshot of what a my chrome theme looks like:
Pretty snazzy huh? Using the application is fairly self explanatory, and if there’s something you don’t understand there’s descriptions under most options!
If you have any questions/comments/problems please post a comment below. Thank you for checking out MyChrome, I hope you enjoy using it!
Requirements:
- Mac OSX 10.6.0 +
NOTE: DO NOT DOWNLOAD MYCHROME FROM HERE! DOWNLOAD THE NEWEST (WORKING) VERSION FROM HERE

I just downloaded the file, and I got an error message: “You cannot use this version of the application MyChrome(BETA) with this version of Mac OS X.” I’m running 10.5.8.

Unfortunately MyChrome doesn’t work in 10.5, it only works with 10.6. I forgot to mention it in my post, I’ll update it now.
When I release the non beta I’ll try and compile it to work with 10.5 also.

Simply double click on the .crx file it exported. Then once chrome loads it should show (on the bottom of the window) a security warning. Just accept it and it’ll install.

It seems there’s problems on computers that don’t have certain components installed. Because of this I’m releasing another version of MyChrome with a proper installer. Please keep checking for updates! It should be live in a few hours!

# November 5, 2010 at 11:09 am
Hmm what does it say? Any errors? Also what version of OS X are you using?
# November 8, 2010 at 11:12 am
Download 1.1 rev2 from here: http://igaret.com/development/mychrome-1-1-no-more-bugs
It should work.
# November 5, 2010 at 5:38 pm

Try running mychrome and see if the theme compiles. If it doesnt compile I’ll release another patch that will def work :/

# November 8, 2010 at 11:11 am

Can you make your own buttons with MyChrome or just backgrounds?
# November 6, 2010 at 12:04 pm
I’ll be repatching tonight. In about 12 hours there should be another patch.
Also the best way to see what all you can change is to download the iGaret theme. It was made using mychrome.

why does my theme cant be compile ?
# February 7, 2011 at 9:13 am
i just wanted to know, how r u compiling the theme, are you using the chrome installed or are you doing it manually? I just wanted to know this as i am also developing one for win & linux!
# February 8, 2011 at 11:21 am
I created a terminal application to compile the crx file from the folder. The actual skin is nothing but a few JSON files.
