"My other priority is to ensure that the core essence of Chrome's
design makes it to each of our platforms. A key aspect to this is the
"Skyline" of the browser with tabs merging with the title bar and the
general visual design. There are other aspects too mainly related to
how certain features work. To me, it's important that the product be
recognizable from a distance as "Chrome" - e.g when seen on TV or over
someone's shoulder. I do believe it's possible to achieve this and
still be harmonious with the target operating system. "
