Is Aura UI theme-able?

[Antonio Gomes]

Hi. In a conversation with one of graphics-dev core developers, it was
advised me to take this specific query below to chromium-dev, so there
it goes..

" One advantage of Aura is that is makes it possible to share GUI code
between different platforms, e.g.: Linux and Windows share as much
code as possible in terms of GUI stack, up to the top level windows
(which are still native). I wonder if the look&feel of a Aura-based UI
is still customizable/theme-able on different platforms.

That said, the understanding of the statement made in [1] "the Linux
UI should now stay up to date with the Windows version" can be:
* Chrome UI on Linux and Windows will *look* exactly the same; more
specifically, the Linux UI would look less native, and get a
non-Gtk2-based look on say Gnome.
* Chrome UI on Linux and Windows will *feel* the same, but widgets are
still themed to look native, coupling together with other native
platform apps, on say Gnome."

Well, Gnome/GTK+ was used above as an example, but might not best fit
to what I actually wanted to emphasize in my question. I wonder how
customizable aura-based Chromium UI si so that it does not look like
an alien app.

Feedback appreciated.

Cheers,

The look is customizable by way of NativeTheme. We also have LinuxUI
for some additional theme related look customization. We don't have
many feel related changes. Biggest one I can think of is scrollbars on
chromeos don't have stepper buttons, but windows (and non-chromeos
linux) does. This is actually handled by NativeTheme too.
