cssgoogle-chromestyles
I have a similar question about firefox in SU.
I'm using Stylish extension and I have changed the style of many websites to dark. When I open a link on a new tab, before the page loads, Chrome is showing a blank page with white background. How can I change this white color to a different one. Is there a CSS selector for it? Does chrome support something like userChrome.css file in Firefox?
Create a folder named "Chrome" in this location: C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[profile]\chrome
and created an empty userChrome.css file with this line:
browser { background-color: #373739 !important; }
It worked fine for me.

It's a hackish workaround but as you can see in the picture, it works.

On my box (ubuntu 12+) custom css is possible:
As for now, it's not (yet) possible for chrome://newtab/ , see http://developer.chrome.com/extensions/override.html for more information.
