Display = none will only hide the content of the markup. It will not remove it. That's what I already do.. it doesn't change the page's layout.

The main problem here is that the newtab page is created dynamically. It loads up content and adds it to the page as you visit it. If I remove completely a section of the page, when content is going to be added, It won't work and you'll end up getting errors in the page's script.

Well, I meant to still remove the content as you're doing, then just set it to display none to collapse the div.
I tested it out by adding

Code:

theDiv.style.display="none";

to function hideDiv(divName) and it seems to work perfectly for the bookmarks at least, didn't test it with anything else.

EDIT: Oh I see, the display seems to be reset to block when you add a new bookmark. How odd. ^^;

Hi is there any way to change the name "bpadoikgkkpmocgnhmkipbchigggjnje" to "CustomNewTab" ? on the extensions folder. Just to know a bit easy what extension is. If i manually change it the extension doesnt load on google chrome so i have no idea how to do it hehe

It won't work because that random bunch of characters is the extensions public ID, which I don't think can be changed.

I discussed this with Aaron Boodman [ http://groups.google.com/group/chrom...2b18292c480805 ] and he said it probably won't be possible.

What will eventually be possible however is to place buttons inside the Wrench menu.
I will place an hyperlink to the dashboard inside the wrench menu which will take you to the dashboard. The URL won't be displayed anywhere and you will never hear of blselrkejrqkjerkj again.

For now, if you wanted, you could make your extension add a bookmark to the dashboard on start-up if there isn't one already there.

Plz don't. I hate bookmarks I don't need. I have never changed a setting in the config since the first release.

@Dagg ...

Previous to this latest update to extension support you used to be able to rename the extension and it stilll worked ...

Guess they'll get round to sorting this out in some future release :-)

I'm pretty sure you will not be able to rename the directories again.

This is all because of the private key system that makes sure that whatever extension you are using, it's published by it's owner.

Yeh, I can understand that ...

I've just been having a mess about and realised that the extensions are installed alphabetically by the extension id (the alphanumeric one).

So as long as you sort your extensions folder alphabetically you don't have a problem identifying which extension is which ...

Happy days :-D

PS - Where does that name come from?
