Aeronyx (ID: 000000b9a808ffd9) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/27/2019 I love it, but it's not working anymore since I last updated Chrome. :(

Corrupt Tempest (ID: 000000153f8ca9a9) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 03/20/2019 Odd... I'm using the matching "Simple Black" theme for chrome, and that works just fine. However, this scroll bar addition just makes my scrollbar slightly fatter and does not change it's color to black. It appears to be dysfunctional for me. I can't imagine why.

Patucha Schwntz (ID: 000000ec3cb76a2f) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 03/06/2017 no me gusta porque el fondo de la barra no es negro, pudiste hacerla gris oscuro ya que ese blanco es una putada para los ojos. para eso hago la mía propia, la cosa es subirla con permiso de desarrollador.
