Chromium Linux build now supports themes

After updating my source build of Chromium today I found out that the build now support theming. Now you can finally make your Chromium look it were not Windows XP inside your Linux.

The fact that Chrome can be themed does not sound that fresh of news to you all, but Chromium, the Open Source project behind it never had this ability on it's Linux and Mac builds.. until now. Yes! It's there, theme support for Chromium! And it works really well too!

This means Chromium will no longer look like Windows XP invading your Linux Distro and eating it's insides. You can now simply pick a theme from the Chromium Themes page or even better, let Chromium pick the colors from your GTK theme by clicking the Use GTK theme button.

Go try it out, fetch your own version from the PPA at launchpad, or use this tutorial.
