How to disable Chrome themes/skins and get default window decorations
Is there a way to disable Chrome's custom window skinning such that it lets the OS draw standard window title bars, borders, etc, in the style I have configured the OS to draw such things with?
I didn't spend all that time with the control panel setting a window style that pleases me just to have applications decide that they know better than me how I want my windows to look. As a practical matter, having each application decide for itself which color cues to use to show "this is the active window" becomes very confusing.
Alternatively, is there a tool somewhere that reads the Windows 7 color and window style settings and produces a Chrome theme that imitates them?
Solution 1:
I found the option to tick on Chrome on Linux by searching for "theme" in the settings, the option was "Use system title bars and borders"
Solution 2:
There isn't a way to override the default Chrome environment to use your windows settings, it has been hardcoded recently to look that way.
The current visual used be a setting called "Hide system title bar and use compact borders" but then google decided to push that as the only option. See it under Appearance on the screen shot.
