Description

================= OPTIMIZE THIS THEME! Download the extension: goo.gl/kImfe ================= This world map was made by Willem Janszoon Blaeu. He was a cartographer born in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. He made a lot of maps for the VOC: de Verenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie (which means in English the United East India Company). At the time that this map was being made, Holland was in it's golden age. The economie was doing great thanks to a lot of trading over sea. The majority of all ships worldwide were dutch. This particular map is called "Nova totius terrarum orbis geographica ac hydrographica tabula" which basically means the same as "map of the new world". The exact year that it was being made is 1635. This theme also resembles a desk, with the brown wood being the toolbar.

Not very useful. Decided to disable/delete from Chrome, but nope, can't see how. Looks like it's borked... hasn't any interactive social presence or help area at the website. Looks like support ended in 2013

This was a good theme and I used it extensively. But when my company updated to a higher version of Windows and Chrome, it no longer works. It just changes the background to the brown but no graphics

My favorite Chrome theme by far, but would really prefer if proper ADA standards were utilized with white text and grid dots in upper right corner of background on the New Tab screen. The white color (which used to appear) provides a much more readable contrast of color. PLEASE FIX.

You've ruined an otherwise perfect theme with that horrendous ultrapeter logo.

It's a nice theme and all but I expected it to be a lot brighter. The colours are all very dark and it's very woody. I honestly quite dislike that. I'm disappointed that it isn't a whole world map as it doesn't feature Australia as well as some other important countries/islands. I am aware that it is meant to represent an old map that belonged to some explorer but I just don't see why you have to cut off a portion of the world.

I love the other space, and mountains, and exotic pix themes, but this one works the best for me. I am focused on WORKING when I pull up my Google Chrome with this one. I tried the others this one works the best for me.
