Hi, I just started learning how to make themes. I made a few but then when i asked my friends to test it out on their chrome, the background for the newtab is not fit to screen.

here is my json file

{
"version": "1.0",
"name": "FMA Theme",
"theme": {
"images": {
"theme_ntp_background": "images/newtab_background.png",
"theme_frame": "images/frame_normal.png",
"theme_frame_inactive": "images/frame_inact.png",
"theme_toolbar": "images/toolbar.png"
},
"colors": {
},
"tints": {
},
"properties": {
"ntp_background_alignment": "center"
}
}
}

Is there a way I could make the background fit to all resolutions? I tried changing the background alignment to stretch but it didn't work. help.

To have a better understanding on my question, download the .crx file here and test it out on different screen resolutions

what's the size of your image?

my image is my image is 1024x700

must i make different versions for each resolution? that would be killer. T.T

try creating an image of 800 X 600 and see whether it fits all sizes

no it can't. I tried it yesterday. it couldn't reach the edge of my screen

does anyone else have this problem anyway?

kept forgeting to answer this one, sorry....

You cant stretch it, your options are listed on this page....
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/wi...eCreationGuide
...your best option is to try and find a picture that can blend into the background colour so you dont notice it.
For instance have a look at the way JediKnight put an alpha mask on a picture to get it to blend in nicely......
Disgaea [CRX]
....the picture on the ntp had sharp edges, but using an alpha mask it blends nicely now

you can mask gradient too? coz most of my bg are gradients

that is great
I think not everyone can do that
