Check out chrome://chrome page in the latest chromium build¹ to see brand new Chromium Material Design icons.
 
Product Logo and Web Store icons both for chromium and chrome are to be expected to be updated as well to Material Design² soon.

Yeah, I tested them few weeks back but its still in early development, so I wouldn't bother with them while they improve it further.

Just to let you know, chrome://Downloads is also in Material Design through flag.

Chrome Dev at 46 now - http://googlechromereleases.blogspot.com/2015/07/dev-channel-update_30.html

I already reported the bug about the toolbar height here: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=515693

Some goodies:

A flag that allows to show downloads in the notification center instead of the download shelf that we had a the bottom.

chrome://flags/#enable-download-notification

I would love to see an entire new theme to be honest. Chrome is my browser of choice right now but it's not a very good looking choice. The new download stuff looks nice though.

There are flags for a toolbar material redesign, which is actually everything you see from the browser apart from the tabs, maybe this is going to be sexy. Will post as soon as I see progress on it.

Seems like its my bad luck, but the new insider build of Windows completely broke Chrome for me. Aw Snap on every page (settings included), even after uninstalling, deleting all userprofile folders and reinstalling. Happens on beta and dev channel.

Seems like something got corrupted from the upgrade, it happened to me too. Uninstall then reinstall fixed it, cause I coudn't be bothered to figure out what exactly was wrong with it.

Uninstall, Install did not work for me even with new profiles.  Chrome Canary is also Broke (as is Firefox Nightly.)

Seems I was a bit hasty, the thing that works is to swap from 64-bit to 32-bit again. (see news article on the frontpage for details)

Yeah it's a known issue. workarounds are disabling the sandbox (absolutely not recommended) or using the 32bit version like joddie here already said.

Is there a way to style the tabs in Chrome at all? I'd like to make the inactive black with white text http://screencloud.net/v/j7RR

Only option, would be to install themes.

Try this - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/dark-theme/djlgdeklopcjagknhlchbdjekgpgenad?utm_source=chrome-ntp-icon

If only it won't change the close, maximize and minimize buttons.

Readable inactive tabs are more important to me than 8.1/10 style window buttons :p
