chrome: n. [from automotive slang via wargaming] Showy features added to
attract users but contributing little or nothing to the power of a system.
“The 3D icons in Motif are just chrome, but they certainly are
pretty chrome!” Distinguished from
bells and whistles by the fact that the latter are
usually added to gratify developers' own desires for featurefulness. Often
used as a term of contempt.
