Today suddenly the color of the bar over the address bar (I think it's called header bar) has changed from dark blue/black to a sort of baby blue.  Is it an update of the new Chrome version(Version 41.0.2272.89) or what and is there a way to revert to the old color?

Sorry but it's the part over the toolbar (where there are the various tabs) to be now light blue. The toolbar hasn't changed from the normal grey

Hi aussieStefano,

Would you be using Windows Vista?  Are you encountering this issue?
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=451733  -  Titlebar not using Aero theme anymore on Vista

If so, per the explanation in Comment #19, this is the way the Chrome border will work in Vista now and moving forward, and you will not be able to get the old view back in Vista.  I suggest looking for different themes from the Chrome Web store if you would like to try other colors for the border:

This is not an update to the latest Chrome Stable version. While you probably currently do not use this app, I would recommend My Chrome Theme, an app developed by Google, to customize your Chrome appearance (you could customize your Chrome appearance to be what your Chrome appearance was originally).

Hi MSI Team,

I have My Chrome Theme on my school laptop, however, on the 4th of August 2015 it has been deactivated so it no longer works as before and I can therefore not get it on my new laptop from the chrome store. This is the reason why I found this post. Do you have any other suggestions to recolour the header bar that doesn't require My Chrome Theme? Or am I just stuck with this ugly grey?!

Just install some theme from the web store that is not gray.
