Tumblr 101: Tips And Tricks To Get Started
Is Google getting ready to move user-created themes out of the Extensions Gallery?
So I tried again... Using some of the more popular themes, like the Android-inspired one I blogged about a while back. Again, the error appeared. Which got me thinking: could Google finally be divvying up the Extensions Gallery? Will extensions and themes be listed separately?
I certainly hope so.
Now, there's every chance that this is just some kind of temporary glitch -- but I certainly hope it's not. The gallery has been a disorganized mess since it opened. Yes, you can search, but why do we still not have basic things like categories or tags to help us discover new or related extensions?
So what's going to happen to them? Perhaps a better solution would be to move themes out of the Extensions Gallery entirely and add a third tab to the themes page: artist themes, themes by Google, user created themes. Makes sense to me, now we'll just have to wait and see what happens.

I wish they would've waited for a little bit. I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my computer tonight and was looking for a nice theme for Chrome to make it look less ugly with Ubuntu. The default GTK theme and classic theme don't go well with the new black-brown-orange-purple theme.

Well, where are they putting them?

I certainly hope so. How do you even find themes without knowing exactly what you're looking for, I find the only way is just search for the word themes, and then theres no way to sort the results by newest or anything either. The whole extensions gallery needs way more sorting options and organization. Firefox extensions gallery still kicks the crap out of Chrome on this one.

Sorry to burst your hopes and dreams about a "Themes" section, but all of the themes I tried (including the android inspired one) installed easily with no error. Still, hopefully Google will make the switch soon, although personally, I'd like to see them in with the Artist and Google created ones.
