Description:

BROKEN - Chrome no longer supports Custom.css. This means you have to use extensions (Stylebot, Stylish) and styling internal chrome:// pages is strictly not allowed: hide Show Password and hide search engine Make Default button styles fail.
We had a good run while it lasted. Firefox has userContent.css, userChrome.css and now the astonishing gCLI.

Tweaks for Chrome.
  • Slick scrollbarNo-background, thin, rounded scrollbar
  • Center imagesMakes images open prettier - centered, no scrollbars. Great for fullscreen. Pan around by scrolling or middle-click.
  • Disable Google Chrome default orange glow around inputs and textareasaka the outline for accessibility purposes
  • Don't display Most visited sitesBuggy. Sometimes top sites show up, but when you refresh they're back in hiding.
Read through these, some might be accessibility issues.

More info
Preferred method of installation:
Copy and Paste the CSS code (click Show CSS above) in the Custom.css file from the http://www.chromium.org/user-experience/user-data-directory, then save it. That's it.

To install as a userscript (without Stylish) just locate the .user.js file that downloads when clicking "Install this style as a userscript", open chrome://extensions from the omnibox and drop the .js file on the Extensions page (Drop to install appears)
