    Question Changing the color of a part of the Google Chrome

    I started my first modified Chrome Theme:


    But I'm having problems changing the color of the "Restore all Removed Thumbnails" Text

    and the color of the Background of the Downloads Bar - the one popping below when you download something, and also I want to change the color of the rotating circle on the tab - the one rotating when you go into a webpage and their fav_icon is loading:


    --------
    added problem:

    how to change the color background of the links (when you hover on a link and the full link will appear at the bottom)
    In the image above it is the "mail.google.com" bg [bottom left] (cause I noticed the full bg has transparent but with the text "mail.google.com" it has black)

    What Value Strings will I edit it?
    e.g. "ntp_background_text"

    That's the reference I saw and I came up doing those, the main thing I wanted to change with all the background colors are to make it transparent, I know how to transparent things by doing this [ 255, 255, 255, 0~1 ] but when I put 0 on it only the bookmark tab bg is transparent not the downloads bar bg

    About other things the "Restore all removed tabs" texts I tried all the string values, but nothing changed the color of that texts and also the rotating circle (the loading thing) there's also no reference for that

    And one other thing, I noticed this too:

    the bookmark toolbar main bg, half of it has the image that I created and half of it is only black

    I dont think you can make the download bar transparent....ive never seen it, but then im on xp
    "Restore all removed tabs' thats an info bar isnt it? and I dont think we have control over that....know any way I can MAKE it come up so I could do some tests?
    The rotating circles color is determined by the tint used on buttons....might wanna check if the button color affects it aswell, but I know for sure the tint does
    the bookmark toolbar main bg, half of it has the image that I created and half of it is only black
    not entirely sure what your meaning here....but that pic has the bookmarks bar unattached to the frame and when it does that it just colors it an average color of the image...i was pretty sure the error with the bookmark bar was fixed, well it is for the dev version (it did the image wrong for a while)
    And Im sorry I havent got around to making a new version of that doc for chrome 7...ill get around to it sooner or later...when i fell like doing anything lately ive been trying to learn lazarus and make my theme tool, look at the shoutbox at ValorSolo (JKs site) if you wanna check it out..... http://valorsolo.com/index.php?page=forum

    I found this on the forum you linked me:
    http://valorsolo.com/index.php?page=...=980&pagenum=1
    The bookmark problem, sux to be broken errr

    and please as what you said here:
    And Im sorry I havent got around to making a new version of that doc for chrome 7...ill get around to it sooner or later...
    please make it as soon as possible
    (I noticed that I haven't do anything in-front of my computer just making themes for 3 days, will that make me a themer addict? haha)

    oh, what are you trying to say here?
    ive been trying to learn lazarus and make my theme tool, look at the shoutbox at ValorSolo
    I can't seem to find the shoutout you are saying.

    added:

    How about this?


    the popping link at the bottom
    details:
    "mail.google.com" has black bg but the rest of it is transparent here's another screenshot:

    the one with "torrentz.com/i" it has black bg, but the rest of it is transparent (hard to see cause it has 0.1 transparency

    and also this:

    How can I change the color of that? the "Restore all removed thumbnails" and its underline color?

    can't seem to find options for those

    sorry for asking too much, just wanted to perfect how to create a theme

    - - - -

    FIXED
    The rotating circle (the loading thingy) fixed! Thanks for that

    Haha, so I installed the Canary Build and it shows that the Bookmark Bar bg color is not the same as on the Normal Chrome Build, I guess Google Chrome is making more changes XD

    Itll prolly be a while till I bother, I only do so much a day and Ive got other things at the mo.....you could always do it
    And theres nothing wrong with making themes all day . Personally I find making things to be a very fulfilling pastime.

    I can't seem to find the shoutout you are saying.
    Front page of that site has a chat box called a shoutbox, youll find a link in there.

    the one with "torrentz.com/i" it has black bg, but the rest of it is transparent (hard to see cause it has 0.1 transparency
    The color of the status bar is determined by the color of the toolbar and its alpha value. If its transparent (the toolbar) then the status bar will be transparent except where theres text and then it'll be totally opaque.

    How can I change the color of that? the "Restore all removed thumbnails" and its underline color?
    Dont know . Never thought of that when I did the guide but definitely will for the next one. You could always down the Element Test Themes listed at the bottom of that doc and go through them to see if it changes (thats kinda what their for).

    sorry for asking too much, just wanted to perfect how to create a theme
    no probs, i know what its like...ask away

    Haha, so I installed the Canary Build and it shows that the Bookmark Bar bg color is not the same as on the Normal Chrome Build, I guess Google Chrome is making more changes XD
    Dam you Google! hehe... does get frustrating tho that they never tell us anything and we have to do a bunch of tests again to see whats what
