Make Windows XP look like Google Chrome

No, I'm not kidding. I wish I was, but the truth is that a DeviantArt user has cobbled together a skin for Windows that gives it a Google Chrome-y look. And think Chrome on XP - without the sex appeal you get with Aero Glass.

Thick, powder blue borders? Check.

The Chrome logo replacing the start orb? Check.

The comments on DevArt are all very positive, though I'm personally going to pass on this one. I'm just not a big fan of all that blue.

But hey, if you're miffed by the fact that Chrome on XP doesn't look consistent with your other application windows at least now you can apply the Google dress code to them.

A number of other blogs are calling this a "Google Chrome OS Transformation Pack." That'd be a pretty amazing feat, since we only have 1) questionable leaked images to go by and 2) they appeared two weeks after the creator posted this theme to DevArt.
