Art meets engin­eering with Google Chrome Artist Themes

10/​22/​2009 08:39:00 AM

A couple of weeks ago we intro­duced Artist Themes for Google Chrome. We asked leading designers, artists, illus­trators and musi­cians to use the browser as their personal canvas for designing inter­esting themes.

Since then, we’ve enjoyed hearing your thoughts on these designs and how you’ve used them to person­alize your browser. We’ve also been intrigued by the ways in which these themes have had inter­esting and unusual cultural resonance with people around the world.

To continue celeb­rating this collab­or­ation of engin­eering and art, we’ve joined forces with our friends at YouTube to launch a new video (with a surprise ending) that we hope show­cases the full beauty of these themes. Check it out at youtube​.com/​g​o​o​g​l​e​c​h​r​o​m​e​t​h​e​mes or by clicking on the image below.


I think it’s great that Google are working on improving Chrome. It’s a browser I enjoy using and hope to see it continue to improve over time.

I’m not sure about this focus on aesthetics though. The last few announce­ments from Google about Chrome have all been asso­ciated with themes and skins. Give us some meat. Add to the func­tion­ality and show us what it’s really made of.
