Google Chrome Mockup

[Sashin]

This how I think Google chrome should employ the GTK theme. At the moment it's using GTK colours but not to complete success (parts of it are still blue).

NB: This is not Dust theme as is, I've modified it to work with my green background. The brown parts are blue, that's all.

Not fully, it can browse the net but not much else. Thing's like options and extensions have yet to be implemented.

As of now it's in pre-alpha.

Cool I'll be waiting for a more stable version then. I tried Crossover Chromium before and it kinda sucked..

[Sashin]

Even in it's pre-alpha state this is much more usable than crossover chromium.

I hate the tabs at the top. I quit using Safari when Apple moved to top tabs. Looks stupid and makes no sense at all.

Pff, any tab bars are pointless :)
I recently discovered the tree-style tab add-on (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5890) for Firefox. If I could set my browser preference to firefox-3.5 now (the version that doesn't run like a slug) without Deskbar refusing to load its Mozilla extensions I would switch to it from Epiphany in seconds.

No, it isn't just a tabs in the sidebar thing (which sucks). It organizes your open pages in a hierarchy based on how you've gone from one to the next, encouraging and assisting the habit of leaving old pages open (especially central pages) without costing any extra effort.

No one here has even said anything about the mockup...
