Download Themes
Perform a search for “Download Themes” and you’ll find a host of offerings for personalizing your digital experiences.
Sites like Customize.org offers a central destination for Themes, Skins, Wallpapers and Icons. Zedge.net offers themes for your mobile phone. You’ll find options for Windows 7 themes, XP themes and WordPress themes. What’s conspicuous by its absence is the option to find browser theme downloads. Especially with the meteoric rise of the Google Chrome browser and its emphasis on enhancements via its Chrome Webstore.
That’s why a few months back, Brand Thunder updated its browser theme gallery.

If you came to Brand Thunder yesterday, or even earlier today, you probably assumed we were part of the Internet blackout effort to stop SOPA. While I might say that was fortunate timing, the real truth is that we experienced an unfortunate server meltdown. For us, there were two scary parts to the story of January 18.
Please read both of them. We can really use your help with the first point. The second point is a much more subjective one. I won’t say which way to throw your support, but it’s an issue worth your time to have an informed opinion.

Community toolbars have been around for years helping online publishers build engagement with their fans and online community. The power of this tool has helped build Conduit, the leader in this space, into what some say is a billion dollar company. Engagement is a powerful tool.
For many years more, desktop wallpapers were the path to customization and personalization for the personal computer – from family photos to wonderful waterfalls – we’ve either seen or tried them. They are easy to install and change. There is no way to interact with the wallpaper, they exist simply for the visual enhancement they offer. The only real downside? Wallpapers spend the majority of time covered by the applications running on the computer. You get to enjoy that beautiful graphic when you start up and shut down your computer – hello and goodbye.
So, what’s it like to take two great ideas and merge them into one. It’s like asking the question, can you get two great tastes to taste great together?

There’s no denying, Google’s Chrome browser is on a roll. With almost 20% market share (as of this writing) in the browser market, rapid deployments of new versions and consistent upgrades, Chrome is poised to make a run at “top browser” in 2012. Having developed Chrome themes along with Firefox and IE for several years now, we have naturally seen a steady increase in the popularity of Chrome themes in our gallery. While there are thousands of Chrome themes available in their Chrome theme gallery, but sifting through the maze of theme can be overwhelming. We have chosen some of the Top Chrome Themes below, both from our gallery and the official Google Chrome gallery.

If there’s anything that Google does really well, it’s release new products fast and iterate often. That’s what they’ve done with Chrome, their web browser, since it’s release in 2008. Currently in it’s 18th major version it’s captured “22.14% worldwide usage share of web browsers, according to StatCounter.” This makes it one of the world’s three most used browsers – the others being Mozilla’s Firefox and Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. Some of the features that have made Google Chrome a favorite include its lightning speed, optimization of screen real estate, useful extensions, web applications, and the main topic of this particular post – custom themes/skins.

Most, if not all of us, can remember a time when a web browser simply was what it was and if you wanted a new feature, or a certain bug drove you completely insane, all you could do was hope that it would be fixed in the next update – and who knew when that would be! Thankfully, we don’t live in that time anymore. As a result of years of user feedback and fierce competition between companies like Google, Mozilla, Apple, and Microsoft, user experience and browser speed have become the litmus test of any web browser. After all, the average web user has evolved more complex and customized needs. It’s only natural that the developers of your browser would take that into account and make it easy for you to customize your browsing experience in order to meet those specific needs and desires. That’s where Google Chrome Extensions come in.
