I noticed two interface tweaks: 1. The tool bar is now a shade of grey rather than baby blue in the default theme (correct me if I'm wrong and this was the case in previous builds as well), 2. the corners of the tool bar are now rounded. See also screenshot below.

I like the new color, but it needs some work it still has some blue color going around the new tab page is still blue the bookmarks bar has blue borders

[Petvas]

I don't know about you but I hate the new toolbar color. I want the standard blue one back. The blue color is a symbol in Windows 7 for all apps that deal with the Internet/communications. I don't understand why Google wanted to mess that up.

Wow nice update. They keep making it better... also I've noticed a slight increase it boot up speed from the last DEV build, not sure if it's just me.

The new toolbar looks really nice. The gray goes really great with the blue icons from the toolbar buttons. Though it would've been nicer if it had a color to match Windows 7's toolbar colors. The rounded corners are also really nice.

What I dislike about the current toolbar is the blue strokes around the buttons and the address bar. These strokes should have the same color as the strokes for the "Pages" and "Options" hover buttons. I'm sure that they're going to fix this in the next builds though.

Now that they're working on the UI, I'm hoping they're going to fix the upper right corner next to the close button as well :p

Thank you sir for the heads up. I'll be updating ASAP!

Doesn't Chrome updates for itself?

If you're on the dev channel it should.

Anyways, I'm pretty excited. I still don't use dev builds for production purposes but I'm really loving Chrome 5. Might blow Firefox 4 out of the water.

It does for me.

Thanks, this updated for me last night. Love the new color scheme they have going on, but as stated there are still hints of the old blue in some places!

Liking the changes as well, I'm sure they'll refine the new theme more over the next few dev builds :yes:

I love the new color.

[HaTeTaTeLLyA]

This build seems to crash more than previous Dev releases. I've also noticed it's slower to open after the browser has been closed previously. I like the new color scheme and the Omnibar not displaying HTTP anymore. I am really looking forward to see what else will be added/changed in future releases.

It's a Dev release so issues appearing from time-to-time are expected.

I do miss the blue :/

Likewise, I'm not the biggest fan of the grey.

[Wanderermy]

They need to fix that minimize/maximize/close button location, annoying ass hell.

[Haptic]

What's wrong with them? Also, is anyone else hearing a weak static-like sound coming from every once in a while?

[Wanderermy]

It's too far to the right

[SuperKid]

Maybe the grey is just to show its a dev build or something?? i doubt they just got rid of the blue does not make sense to me, blue was nice.

How do I be on the dev channel so that my Chrome gets updated automatically?
