Aero - Extra Black Theme

** update.. I made this a million years ago and now the Manifest V2 deprecation might break this, i will try to re-build this if i can sort it out but this may stop working.

Aero - Extra Black
Just a simple plane black theme that works with windows 7 Aero theme. Background tabs are transparent black, focused tabs are opaque (when aero is enabled).

NOTE: In a recent update chrome changed something so the top tabs may not look how you want them to on different OS's. ChromeOS and OSX seem to have some of the odder looks now, but you might be happy switching between this theme and the other linked below. I will be working to resolve these issues/build an additional theme that resolves the issues once i can figure out that that issue is :D


This is the same theme only it has gray/white background tabs.
