    You can replace the PNGs in "User Data\Default\Extensions\plgmceamlnnomchgidmaobncppbcdehg\1.2" (of course the version number will change as it ages). Just make sure they're the same size, or else the toolstrip button might not be formatted as intended.

    Try it again I guess, it works fine for me.

    Thanks! Seems the format has to be the same as well, it's a shame that it uses GIF's (for the icons I changed, anyway)...

    Oh right. ^^; Forgot to change the Notepad icon from GIF to PNG. It was GIF in the first version for no particular reason, then I switched to PNG when they added the new crx format because it converted all images to PNG anyway.

    Great extension!
    It helped me finish my Session Saver extension.
    Did you run into the cookie bug that makes you lose data unless you wait 30 seconds before exiting? How did you work around it? I ended up storing the cookie contents in bookmarks until that bug is fixed.

    Sticky Notes doesn't seem to suffer from the cookies not being saved on exit problem. I noticed you have 2 timers, one saves data to the cookie every 3 seconds if the current cookie is empty, the other saves every 100ms while the sticky note is active. This results in the "Extension Cookies" file's timestamp updating. Maybe after a certain number of writes chrome flushes the cookies. 1 write does not seem to be enough.

    I noticed while making it that sometimes Sticky Notes will not save the data if you open Chrome, changed something, and then close it soon after, but I didn't think much of it, and I didn't consciously make a work around.
    That's quite interesting though. I had no idea such a problem existed. ^^;
    I only added that timer in case the user wiped the cookies, which I later found out doesn't affect extension cookies anyway.

    Waha! Needs more Waha!

    Anyway... uh yeah. Hi. I've been testing out your sticky notes app and I have come across an interesting problem.

    So I figured out how to edit the colors of the background/foreground by your little colored boxes... and I clicked one and it showed me a bunch of different colored boxes... but basically, the part that comes to the right (the hex number and the save button) initially remained hidden beneath some other part of the bottom bar. There is a vertical line on the bottom bar (a divider?) and when the button got wider to show the colored boxes, everything past the third column of color choices disappeared behind that divider.
    So at first, I couldn't save my changes to the color scheme. It happened to sort itself out temporarily at one point when I closed the notepad and so I clicked save and found that upon closing it, opening it again it had changed colors. I can't reliably cause it to open like this again so that I can actually see the save button so I can't reliably mess with the color scheme settings.

    Just fyi.

    Thanks again for a great app!

    Sounds like a Chrome issue really, but thanks anyway. I might be able to fix it by specifically indicating the width of the toolstrip.
    And you're welcome. :]

    @waha

    I know some time ago there was a problem with the internal note not working because of changes to the API, has this been fixed yet ?

    If not, is it likely to be ?

    If the answer to these questions is a resounding NO, is this version of SN (1.2) the last ?

    I'll be fixing it, but like with my object browser and video downloader extensions, it requires content page communication. I'll be writing a simple library for it when I get the time to, it shouldn't be too hard. Once I make that, I'll be able to fix all these. Though Sticky Notes is kind of on the bottom of the list since it is still functional, albeit partially, where the others are not at all.
