On Windows, IE picks up the system colors. So you can make the windows background gray with Windows look-n-feel and IE will obey. But, not Chrome.
Yet there is a solution. There is a user style sheet located at:
C:\Users\[User Name]\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\User StyleSheets
Name of the file is : Custom.css
You can edit this fine and make Chrome look the way you want it. Here is what I use in there:
/* Start */
* { background-color: #f0f0f0 !important; }
* html, body { background-color: #f0f0f0 !important; }
* { color: black !important; }
* a:link { color: blue !important; text-decoration: none; }
* a:visited { color: #800080 !important; text-decoration: none; }
* a:hover { background-color: #00CC00 !important; }
::-webkit-scrollbar { height: 12px; width: 12px; background: #800000; }
::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb { background: orange; -webkit-border-radius: 1ex; }
::-webkit-scrollbar-corner { background: #000; }
/* End */
Note that, this will override all site specific colors. Yet, it is so easy on your eyes. If you are using Chrome as the default browser and using it as the default mail client, this is going to be very useful. But if you want to see how a site originally looks, you need to use another browser.
