More info
A lot of the original changes are obsolete (fade/previews/sidebar); But this style has been modified with the original intention the same.
You can modify this style with your own preferences, too.

Also recommended:
To rearrange the black bar any way you want, including moving items in and out of the "more" dropdown, you can install this addon for Chrome:
