We are always happy to report improvements and updates to the Google Chrome browser. Just last month, we released a new stable version , in which the speed and other key functions are improved, as well as a nice little thing is added, from which the browser will become bright: themes. We liked to color the browser, and we invited leading artists, architects, designers, fashion designers and directors from around the world. We invited them to transfer their art to a new, unusual canvas: the interface of a modern browser. And what came of all this? Themes from artists for Google Chrome, a mixture of art and technology - a good hundred themes from artists, which will help you diversify your daily communication with the browser and customize it for yourself.

We are honored to have the opportunity to work with such famous names as Jeff Koons, Jenny Holzer, Karim Rashid, Jonathan Adler, Oscar de la Renta, Anita Kunz, Tom Sachs, Kate Spade, Donna Karan, Kid Robot, Casey Reas, Dolce & Gabbana, Michael Graves, Todd Oldham, Yann Arthus-Bertrand and Mariah Carey (and this is far from a complete list!). We would like to express our gratitude to all participants in the project for sharing their vision of the browser and their imagination and investing a lot of effort in this joint project.

Of course, we wanted Russian Google Chrome users to be able to decorate their browser with their favorite characters, and we prepared two Russian themes: Hedgehog in the Fog (Soyuzmultfilm) and Masyanya (author Oleg Kuvaev).

If you're curious to look behind the scenes and see how the process looked like an example illustrator, check out the official Google Chrome Blog . We also created a small video album showing various bright themes for Chrome:


If you have not used Google Chrome for a long time, download the latest version and try on several themes from artists. If you already use Google Chrome, go to the themes gallery and choose a theme to your taste!
