Chroma is a lightweight AOSP ROM focused on battery, performance and stability.
The philosophy of Chroma is to stay relatively close to Google's stock Lollipop with the additions of essential features that should have been included with stock Lollipop.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
"Klick mich"
I have a bug report to submit. What would be the best way to submit them?
Before you submit a bug report, please check the following before you submit a bug report.
1. Are you using Xposed? If you are, then you're on your own as I do not support Xposed as it causes too many problems (e.g. reboots, force closes, instability, etc). Disable Xposed and see if you can reproduce the problem.
2. Do a clean installation and see if you can reproduce the problem. Do a nandroid backup before doing a clean installation if you wish to revert back easily.
3. Does the problem still persist? Read THIS POST and post in detail on how to reproduce the problem.
If a user does not follow these simple instructions, the bug report will be ignored as there is nothing I can do without logs.
Why is it when I flash the ROM, my settings isn't the same as the screenshots shown in OP?
What you're seeing are themes which utilizes Layers which takes advantage of Sony's RRO commits to AOSP. Read on how to apply layers HERE or read further below on the steps I use for layers.
I'm having problems with <Google-related application>
Only the BaNkS GApps (the ones listed in OP) are the ones supported, if you're not using that particular GApps then you're on your own when it comes to any problems that you may have with Google applications.
I flashed BaNkS GApps, where are all of the Google applications!?
BaNkS' GApps is a minimal google applications package that contains only the essential applications from Google that you need (e.g. Google Play Store). You can download all of your favorite Google applications (e.g. Google Maps, Gmail, YouTube, etc) from the Play Store.
I have a feature request, how do I let the developer know?
The developer (me) does not take feature requests as Chroma is a ROM that is suited to my needs. I may add features that are not beneficial to me but to others if I believe that the feature would be widely used by the users. I am always actively looking through repositories to see what is available, so for the most part it is not needed to request a feature. If you think it would be strongly useful and a lot of users would use it, then feel free to make a post.
HELP! I just got a force close with a app and I'm using a layer for that app
If you're using a layer for a particular application that is force closing, the overlay could be ultimately responsible, remove the layer and attempt to reproduce the crash. Otherwise clear cache and/or re-install the application as this is typically not ROM related.
How come Charging LED does not turn off?
Franco Kernel contains code within the kernel that enables the charging LED to be on which overrides the ROM settings. Disable Charging LED within Franco Kernel Updater.
Applying layers (advanced mode)
"Klick mich"
You can also apply layers with the following steps,
Also, I have added a method for people to apply Layers more easily than the application (in my opinion).
1. View your preferred page and find a theme/layer that you like.
https://plus.google.com/communities/...0-869bc7870274
HERE
2. Extract the .zip
3. Inside the .zip you will find a variety of .apks
4. Copy all of the apks using a file manager of your choice (the file manager needs to be root compatible)
5. Paste all of the apks into /system/vendor/overlay/
6. Verify that the apks have the permission rw-rw-rw (if you use Root Explorer you do not have to check permissions as Root Explorer does it for you)
7. Reboot.
