We have named this section “The Dark Art”. Nothing sinister, we just focus on images with dark background splashed with a combination of fascinating colors, which gives them an awesome aura. Just using these images as wallpapers is pretty cool, but when used within the Google Chrome theme, these images look even better.

Google Chrome Themes – The Dark Arts [Abstract Art Themes]

Unlike Windows 7 Themes, where we mostly create themes based on a well know topics we can work with Abstract Art Images in Google Chrome Themes. The reason is simple – we just need to work on a single image, not a collection of images and work on making it fit beautifully within the Google Chrome Frame.

At the beginning of the Launch of our Chrome Themes Gallery,  I would like to introduce a section of Abstract themes, I am hoping many abstract art lovers would appreciate.

We have named this section “The Dark Art”. Nothing sinister, we just focus on images with dark background splashed with a combination of fascinating colors, which gives them an awesome aura. Just using these images as wallpapers is pretty cool, but when used within the Google Chrome theme, these images look even better. Try them out, I am sure, one or the other would get your attention.

The Dark Art – Google Chrome Themes:

Description:

The Dark Art Abstract Themes are geared towards people who like bright colors on a dark background. Although it might sound like these themes may be hard on your eyes, on the contrary, the combination of dark and bright colors is done so well, that the images look quite awesome in Chrome.  We have taken care to make sure  all the links and text is easily visible against both dark and bright background.

There are 3 Different Dark Art themes in this batch. Ethereal, Ethereal 2 and Colored Spikes. We would recommend you to try at least one of the 2 Ethereal themes.

Technical Details:

We have tried our best to make sure that all these themes fit  every screen resolution possible. They should work great on all monitors.

Here are the screenshots for the Dark Art Themes.

Click on the image to view an enlarged version.

1) The Dark Art -  Ethereal:

Possibly the best theme in The Dark Art Theme category. The beautifully highlighted strands of light on a dark background look quite awesome.

Download The Ethereal Chrome Theme.

2)  The Dark Art – Ethereal 2:

A theme closely associated with Ethereal above, almost same pattern, but instead of light, this one has multi colored smoke, which isn’t as bright as in Ethereal. Also Ethereal 2 does not flow across the browser, but is focused on the right side. Good for those who would prefer to have image on one side on the theme.

Ethereal 2

Download The Ethereal V.2 Theme.

3) The Dark Art – Colored Spikes:

One of the very first themes we made. Well, I Just like this as a wallpapers, so I thought why not make a theme using this. Colored Spike is what we got. We hope you like it as much as we do.

How to apply these Google Chrome Themes:

The best way to download and apply any of our Chrome themes is to visit our Theme Gallery while browsing in Google Chrome. Just click on the Download button and you would see an information box at bottom left corner of the browser. Click on “continue” and the theme would be applied.

If you are using some other browser like Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer, you can download and save the theme in any desired folder, and when you are running chrome, just drag the downloaded theme file and drop it in Google Chrome’s interface, and the theme would be applied.

Your feedback will help us make better themes in the future. Do let us know your thoughts about these themes and which one among the 3 themes above you liked the best, in the comments section below. If we get a positive feedback, we would make more additions to the Dark Art themes section.

        great theme! just posted a comment in the chrome app store but thought i’d do that here as well. love it but i’d suggest changing the colour of the buttons to a lighter colour. the dark blue makes it a little hard to see! great work though. look forward to seeing more from you!

          Thanks. I assume you are talking about Ethereal 2? We will check the theme and update it. Also several new themes are planned and would be released on a regular basis, so check them out when you can. Cheers! :)

    Ethereal is not a wallpaper based theme – its just a graphic on the right side of the new tab page.. So there is no wallpaper available for that, Sorry!
