I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit and Google Chrome version 28.0.1500.71 (the latest as of this writing).
There are a lot of themes with transparency in the Chrome Web Store, but they never work on my system. What kind of configuration am I missing to make transparent themes work in Chrome?
Here is an example of a theme that should be transparent but is not:
On my system (the dark gray title-bar is not transparent):
From my about:gpu
page (before enabling flags and messing with stuff):
about:gpu
page (after messing with stuff)
about:gpu
page. It may be that you don't have hardware acceleration enabled, or chrome don't detects it correctly, ergo you don't get transparencies.about:flags
page. One last thing: I have installed the latest driver from NVIDIA for 64-bit Linux for my graphics card. I'm not sure what else to try.gtk2
(as the theme suggest in a link in the description) functions not present ingtk3
and that's why it fails. I've tried in my Debian 7 and failed too. So, the theme(s) is too old or chrome don't support the transparency in newer systems.
