Google adds tons of new designs to Chrome theme gallery
If you weren't totally enthused with the themes Google themselves produced for Chrome, I've got some good news for you.
Just added to the Chrome themes directory is a whole new tab featuring designs created by artists and designers - like Mark Ecko (pictured), Anita Kunz, and Todd Oldham. There are several really slick themes, and you're at least more likely to find one you like now due to the increased number of options.
Also featured are some favorites from iGoogle's options like Pocoyo and Super Monkey Ball.
Have a look at the new themes, and feel free to share your favorites in the comments!

The Windows 7 UI however, is very distracting. With all of its Aero Glass, it focuses more on itself than the content. Microsoft should stick to the Windows Classic theme, boring but not distracting.

+1 RE: Chrome losing minimalism, -1 for windows opinion. I really like the way that Win7 is so much more minimalistic than Vista and XP, particularly the taskbar.

er, where does it say that I have to use any themes at all. Therefore in what way does this destroy so-called minimalism
further - what a dull world without variety, shapes, colors, decoration. Not everything is about "efficiency". Content is great but it's not everything. I am not a machine!
