Google Chrome Plugins and Themes

Waha · #21 06-21-2009, 11:05 PM

Updated the Disable and Uninstall features to make Chrome stop complaining about a missing manifest, also added themes support to the manifest editor.
Just remember, once you go "theme" you can never go back!

(Okay maybe if you reload it ^^; )

for some reason --enable-user-scripts in option 8 doesn't work.
i also changed the bat file only to use --enable-user-scripts by default but it also didn't work ;/

Is it erroring or do you just mean that Chrome isn't loading your User Scripts?
Mine are working fine, are you sure your User Scripts work in Chrome? A lot of them don't seem to because they require GM_* commands and such.

@Waha
When I use the shortcut with the --enable-user-scripts in its properties all my user scripts work perfectly, but when i open a link from for example Skype it opens chrome without user scripts even though I've used your tool.

That's really odd, it changes the protocol handler to do the enabling, so any program that actually checks what it should be opening http:// and such with will open the links correctly.
It might just be that Skype doesn't, I'm not sure.
It works correctly for me from Digsby and XChat.
Is it just Skype it's not working with, or other things as well?

Nope.
It's not only Skype, I tried opening a html file and the outcome is the same
Any suggestions what i can check/change manually?

Well these are all the registry keys:

Code:

REG ADD HKCR\ChromeHTML\shell\open\command /ve /t REG_SZ /d "\"%apploc%\chrome.exe\" --enable-extensions --enable-user-scripts -- \"%%1\"" /f
REG ADD HKCR\http\shell\open\command /ve /t REG_SZ /d "\"%apploc%\chrome.exe\" --enable-extensions --enable-user-scripts -- \"%%1\"" /f
REG ADD HKCR\https\shell\open\command /ve /t REG_SZ /d "\"%apploc%\chrome.exe\" --enable-extensions --enable-user-scripts -- \"%%1\"" /f
REG ADD HKCR\ftp\shell\open\command /ve /t REG_SZ /d "\"%apploc%\chrome.exe\" --enable-extensions --enable-user-scripts -- \"%%1\"" /f
REG ADD HKCU\Software\Clients\StartMenuInternet /ve /t REG_SZ /d "Google Chrome" /f
REG ADD HKLM\Software\Clients\StartMenuInternet /ve /t REG_SZ /d "Google Chrome" /f
REG ADD "HKLM\Software\Clients\StartMenuInternet\Google Chrome\shell\open\command" /ve /t REG_SZ /d "\"%apploc%\chrome.exe\" --enable-extensions --enable-user-scripts" /f
REG ADD HKCR\ChromeExt\shell\open\command /ve /t REG_SZ /d "\"%apploc%\chrome.exe\" --install-extension=\"%%1\" --enable-extensions --enable-user-scripts" /f

Note that HKCU is HKEY_CURRENT_USER, HKLM is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, etc.
Also /ve means we're editing the value of the (default) key.

So with HTML files, it might not work unless you have had Chrome as your default browser before (and you haven't used anything to reset the association for HTML).

Also make sure to reuse the "Start with ... by default" command after Chrome updates, because Chrome will reset your default browser settings automatically (since it thinks it's still the default browser).

This might help ...

Enable Extensions - Start Menu and Hyperlinks

If you are familiar with editing the registry, you might also check to see if you have permissions to change those keys as well.

True, permissions may very well be a problem, but when you used the tool it should tell you something to that effect.
If it works correctly you should see eight "The operation completed successfully" on your screen before pressing enter again.
