Double Yellow Low Contrast Theme

Double Yellow means don't pass ... on this theme. Do you like dark themes but you can never tell which is the active tab? Check out Double Yellow! The active tab is a bright, pleasing yellow, so you can spot it quickly.

Supports omnibox colors added in Chrome 80!

In this theme, background tabs are dark gray rather than black, which makes the loading spinner easier to see. The omnibox is also dark yellow rather than black, which I think is a bit more aesthetically pleasing.

Neighborhood Church Ocala (ID: 000000c92de2efdd) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 07/25/2023 I was solely looking for a dark theme where the active tab is easy to see. This is it, customizable color OR alternate color themes would give this 5 stars from me

A. (ID: 0000005286a73800) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/14/2022 Helps a lot when you have many tabs open and looks better than Google's "High Contrast Colorful" that I used to use before.

Adrián Perera Hernández (ID: 000000c7def229f8) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/06/2022 Just what I need to easily handle a big ammount of tabs. Looking fancier than Google's High Contrast Colorful theme.

Purvel (ID: 000000719ba17762) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 01/23/2022 Exactly what I was looking for! A dark theme with *visible* active tab. All the other dark themes are impossible to tell which tab is active. This is instant and I love it! The yellow-orange could be even more orange/mellow, but it is still not too bright.
