Classic Blue Theme (back to 50) Theme

In Chrome 51, Chrome's Classic Theme turned gray on Windows and Linux.

This theme brings back the blue colors from Chrome 50.

Unlike the other \"Classic blue theme\" extension in the Chrome Web Store, this extension does not change any other style, so you will get the modern classic theme - i.e. Chrome 50's Classic Theme.


Update (version 2): Use a subtle gradient instead of a single color to look identical to the default theme of Chrome 50 on Linux/Windows. Now the theme also works on macOS.

Michael Elkin (ID: 000000283680141e) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/01/2023 Still my favorite theme. In the latest 119 version the background of the navigation bar has become darker gray. I think this is due to chromes updated UI. Anybody know of a way to make it lighter again?

Addy Feuerstein (ID: 0000007c89db57c0) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/14/2023 I really like this theme and I've been using it for the last few years. The latest Chrome update (Version 118.0.5993.71) broke the new tab button, and now it shows up as quarter circle. Any chance for an update?
