In Chrome 51, Chrome's Classic Theme turned gray on Windows and Linux. This theme brings back the blue colors from Chrome 50. Unlike the other "Classic blue theme" extension in the Chrome Web Store, this extension does not change any other style, so you will get the modern classic theme - i.e. Chrome 50's Classic Theme

Why do I love this extension:
Aquamail being my favorite Android App because among other things it support multiple email accounts at the same time and aggregates the incoming emails of all those accounts into a single virtual inbox (Smart Folder), Arc Welder allows me to run AquaMail on my desktop. As a picture is worth a thousand words, a screen shot will give you a better idea of what I'm trying to convey.While Arc Welder may not be able to properly run all the Android Apps, I believe that most Apps which don't need access to the Android file system will work fine.
