Theme Google Chrome with ease

It hasn't even been a week since Google Chrome's release, and there are already little tools being released to enhance the browser. This is one of them.

A lot of you guys have asked me how to change the look of the browser. Well, it's finally doablable. All you have to do is install Chrome Automatic Theme Switcher, and select a theme. Included themes include the black and green (and you can switch back to the default blue color, as well).

Simply download the app, close Google Chrome, select the theme, and click on Set Theme. Start up Chrome again, and enjoy the new appearance!

Here's what it looks like if you choose the black theme:

Sergey Brin: No Mac version 'embarrassing'

A lot of you Mac users want to get in on the Chrome action, but can't yet. All we've been told so far is that "we're working on it, it's coming".

Well, Google co-founder Sergey Brin said that not having a Mac version is embarrassing. We found it on video, so skip ahead about 4 minutes and 23 seconds in:

More funny Chrome parody comics from around the web

I guess my friends weren't the only ones making funny parody comics based on the images from the Chrome comic.

Internet communities like 4chan and others have made some of their own. Here are some of the best ones I found around the web.








Let me know what you think, and if you find other good ones, leave a comment! :)

Install Java for Google Chrome

Some of you have messaged me saying that after you installed Chrome, you can no longer view play Yahoo games that use Java. Yes, this is very annoying, but there is an easy fix.

Download Java from Sun

After it has downloaded, close Chrome, and install Java.

Once you have installed it, restart Chrome, and it should work just fine.

The reason that it wasn't working before is Chrome doesn't seem to like to work with the current version of Java. The version above is a beta, which does work with Chrome. Don't worry about it being a beta, just make sure to update it when it asks.

Install Flash for Google Chrome

Some of you have messaged me saying that after you installed Chrome, you can no longer view Youtube videos. Yes, this is very annoying, but there is an easy fix.

Download Flash from Adobe

After it has downloaded, close Chrome, and install Flash.

Once you have installed it, restart Chrome, and it should work just fine.

The reason that it likely wasn't working before is that IE and Chrome use different plugin mechanisms. So even if Flash was working in IE, it might not work in other browsers. By installing the plugin, you are making it work with Chrome (and Firefox, and Safari).

Good luck!
