background stretching

**Iruini626** · 03-02-2010, 01:57 PM

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

**Iruini626** · 03-02-2010, 02:12 PM

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

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
