@eugenehp Great idea, I've never thought of that! I'm going to work on this now and hopefully will have a feature ready in the next few days. I'll shoot you a message once it's done!

@eugenehp Hi Eugene! I've spent the last 24 hours working on this feature, and it's finally done! Now, when you create a theme and click "Download Theme", there is a new button called "Share Theme". This button generates a link that you can copy and send to anyone else. Let me know if you end up using this for your company, I'd love to hear about it! Just followed you on Twitter so we can keep in touch. Cheers!

I like to separate my Chrome windows into multiple different profiles (one for work, one for school, one for social media, etc). Each profile has its own distinct color scheme so I can easily identify which profile I'm on. The Chrome Web Store offers a large selection of themes, but I can often not find the exact theme I'm looking for. I started researching how to create my own themes, but found it was incredibly tedious and required a lot of techincal knowledge (i.e. what RGB colors are, how to create a JSON file, etc). I wanted to make a Chrome theme generator that could be easily used by anyone to create their own customized themes, without any techincal knowledge. And this is why Chrome Theme Studio was born!

Graze for Mastodon

cool, but Chrome blocks it as some kind of insecure download and redirects to https://support.google.com/chrom... maybe some kind of certificate issue?

@jaredzimmerman Hi Jared, thanks for letting me know about this. I see the issue as well — if you're downloading it for the first time, you have to click on the arrow and click "Keep". I believe Chrome detects that you're downloading an unpacked "extension" and tried to block it. Technically all themes are Chrome Extensions, so they probably detect this in the download. I don't think there's any way around this, unfortunately.

this is amazing and extremely easy to use, thanks for sharing! Just 1 suggestion, it'd be great if we could add a background to our themes also, similar to the ones available on the Firefox Colour extension, nonetheless this is incredibly useful and fun :D

@ruchira_08 Hi Ruchira, thanks for the kind words! By "background" do you mean the new tab page background color? If so, I will definitely give this a try — great idea!

@jmistri I'm really glad you liked the idea! Yeah, by background I meant to say that Firefox offers options to add simple patterned backgrounds in the "active frame" area. I hope that makes sense :D
