About

Linen brings texture to the browser we know and love.  Native OS window trim, inset address bar, high-set tab strip graphics.

Works well on Windows, Mac OS X, and Chrome OS Linux.

See the other variants for subtle tweaks to graphics and window trim:

Note that because of a few theming quirks, a number of small issues prevent me from marking this a "version 1".  The address bar buttons have a pretty nasty white trim that is unthemeable, and some platforms have a forced text shadow where I would otherwise prefer to have none.  Also, it seems that all platforms except Mac OS X show the download shelf as solid-black.  This is a known issue, tied to the use of transparency in the new-tab-page bookmark display (that uses the same color definition).  There will be a variant released which fixes this by trading off the features for those that prefer a nicer download shelf.
