Update: Greasemetal development has stopped since the new version of Google Chrome supports user scripts by default.
Chromium and Google Chrome (version 4 and higher) have built-in support for Greasemonkey-style user scripts.
To use, click on any .user.js file. You should see an install dialog. Press OK to install.
Known issues:
Chromium does not support @require, @resource, unsafeWindow, GM_registerMenuCommand, GM_setValue, or GM_getValue.
GM_xmlhttpRequest is same-origin only.

What is Greasemetal?
How does it Work?
Google Chrome does not provide any interface to develop browser addons. Greasemetal modifies the behaviour of Google Chrome using an inter-process communication channel called AutomationProxy, which is used for automatically testing the functions of the web browser.
Using Greasemetal
To start using Greasemetal, download and execute the installer.
After installation, launch Greasemetal from the start menu. Greasemetal will in turn start up Google Chrome, while hooking its behaviours to insert userscripts.
Once you have started running Greasemetal, add userscripts to the
userjs directory under your
My Documents folder (or
Documents folder on Windows Visa). If you are unfamiliar with userscripts, a number of scripts are available from
userscripts.org.

Updated with real chrome adblock addon.
The famous Adblock Plus for Firefox is finally available for Google Chrome. It brings the same convenience of blocking unwanted ads as you’re used to.
Simply install it and forget it. It’ll block all the ads in the background, update its filters automatically and never bother you.
From authors of the addon:
Adblock Plus is a community-driven open source project that aims to make the internet better for everyone. It was originally created for the Firefox browser and with more than 100 million downloads it has become the most popular browser extension in the world. We are now offering Adblock Plus for Google Chrome™ (formerly AdThwart) as well and the community is working hard to produce the same value you know from the Firefox version.

With this tool, to build the themes\default.dll file is far from a click.
Since the previous GChromeRES is slow and image names not well described, I made an alternative way, so this is it.
First and foremost -> Requirements:
GoRC.exe by Jeremy Gordon
http://www.jorgon.freeserve.co.uk/
and
ResHacker.exe by Angus Johnson
http://angusj.com/resourcehacker/
These files must be in the same directory where you’re going to extract this tool.
How to use:
– The zip file has PNG files in separate directories, you just edit them, and build with this tool.
– Test button to automatically replace the default.dll with the built one, so theme’s path must be correct.
– With Build+Test, is a shortcut for those actions, without the need to answer any questions.
Added Drag&Drop feature for dragging “default.dll” and dropping it in order to replace default.dll in Chrome’s path and after that Launch it.
Note: images or icons must not be moved from their directories, so once completed a theme design, backup those files to start another one…
However, if you want to modify the folder tree, just arrange them and modifiy default.rc file according to that.
I tested in WinXP and Vista, with Chromium and Google Chrome respectively, since this is a beta release, some bugs might be found.

What is XChrome?
XChrome is a theme manager for Googles Chrome browser, it allows users to install a skin in seconds without having to move default.dll around and it allows you to view the author and various other details before installing.
XChrome also allows users who do not have XChrome install to install themes by double clicking the themes .exe file, they are prompted to install the theme, they agree the theme is copied to Chromes Default.dll
Fixes :
o now works with .29 of Chrome (i have changed the way the google dir is found, it should now work with future versions)
o Chrome going red after default.dll is Touched
o After clicking install on a few theme it installed into Xchrome manager but not into Chrome itself.
Added Features:
o Theme Webpage now links the user to the webpage by a click rather than needing to type the url manually into browser.
o Gets Chrome version and path from the registry
o Improved serveral routines.
