Material Theme Dark [blue-grey] Theme

[I've been using this theme for quite a while; finally deciding to publish it.]

I've used loads of dark themes for Chrome before, but my design aesthetic preferences have changed. I prefer flatter designs, with a great degree of minimalism (especially for themes).

This is the dark version of my Material Theme for Chrome. Do check out the black version of the same theme, if you want the absolute dark theme (also helps if you have an AMOLED display - black themes help save battery, since AMOLED show black colours by turning those pixels off).

For the ultimate experience, make sure:
1. You're on the latest version of Chrome
2. If you're using Windows, enable 'Custom-drawn Windows 10 titlebar' by copy-pasting this link into the browser: chrome://flags/#windows10-custom-titlebar
