How would this be done if installing a theme doesn't require any
authentication? If we are going this approach, it means the user should be
logged in to manage his/her own themes? I like this approach as well... but
why not just do this:
Create a chrome://themes/ page where we asynchronously fetch the theme data
from the remote website, that way, we can control how that page is rendered
with prefs (currently installed theme, last 5 installed themes, etc ) we
could even make that chrome://themes/ page fetch themes from different
sources (not only from Google) via syndication. Just a thought.

Later on, we could even have the chrome://themes/ page create custom colours
for themes (once again, easily done by altering the prefs) if the user
wants. Add tints, etc ... Many, many people on the forums want custom
colours. (Similar to GMail)
