    Youd be much better off learning to do it with a text editor.
    That thing is missing LOTS of settings and I just dont see any advantage of using it over a text editor....the colour picker would be the only thing I could think of and pspad has one.
    If your having any probs with the manifest or anything then start a new thread with your problem and Ill try to give you a hand if i can.

    would it be possible to code the location of the folders into the application?
    entering the data seems a little tedious

    I am preparing another release for this Chrome theme creator.
    But before starting the project, just tell me, is it worth making?

    I mean is it worth making this Google Chrome Theme Creator?

    I knw the last one wasn't much help because of the bugs n confusion. But now this time i'm going to use a real programming language(last time i used AutoIT)

    Also if any one is interested pls mention what all functions it should perform?
    What features it should have?

    pls reply!

    Gday oDx, super to hear!
    Your last version was very usefull regardless of its quircks.
    Its fully worth making a new one, like I said the last one was useful just needed a few tweaks really.

    Basically do the same as before minus the probs or maybe try rearranging the elements, like I wonder what it would be like if it was done by interface sections....

    Code:
    Frame
    Color-frame
    Color-frame_inactive
    Color-frame_incognito
    Color-frame_incognito_inactive
    Color-control_background
    Image-frame
    Image-frame_inactive
    Image-frame_incognito
    Image-frame_incognito_inactive
    Image-frame_overlay
    Image-frame_overlay_inactive
    Image-window_control_background
    Tint-frame
    Tint-frame_inactive
    Tint-frame_incognito
    Tint-frame_incognito_inactive
    
    Tabs
    Color-tab_text
    Color-tab_background_text
    Image-tab_background
    Image-tab_background_incognito
    Image-tab_background_v
    Tint-background_tab
    
    Toolbar
    Color-toolbar
    Color-bookmark_text
    Color-button_background
    Image-toolbar
    Image-button_background
    Tint-buttons
    
    NTP
    Color-ntp_background
    Color-ntp_text
    Color-ntp_link
    Color-ntp_link_underline
    Color-ntp_header
    Color-ntp_section
    Color-ntp_section_text
    Color-ntp_section_link
    Color-ntp_section_link_underline
    Image-ntp_background
    Image-ntp_attribution
    NTP-ntp_background_alignment
    NTP-ntp_background_repeat
    NTP-ntp_logo_alternate
    
    Name-name
    Version-version
    ......I just happened to look at it the other day and made that list
    It would be great to have a help bit that showed a pic explaining what each element is and maybe also showing what elements affect other elements (like what defines the colour of the download bar)
    Something to show the pic would be nice or just something to open it....if you are going to make something to show the pics it would be great if it would do the repeating on images that repeat such as the toolbar.
    A colour picker for tints would be nice and show the colour next to the element.
    Look forward to your next version.

    In the next one could you make use of profiles so that I don't have to close the chrome I'm using (chromes my default browser).
    If you use a command line like....
    chrome.exe --user-data-dir="c:\path\to\theme\profile" --load-extension="C:\path\to\theme"
    ...it will load the theme in a new window and has the advantage of not showing the authors personal stuff. Just make a directory in your apps directory and point to that.
    Also, dont forget to delete "Cached Theme.pak" from the theme directory before packing it, this file is made by chrome when ever you load unpacked your theme.

    Remember how I asked for a color picker for tints?...well heres where to find the code to convert from rgb to hsl and back again....
    http://src.chromium.org/svn/trunk/sr...color_utils.cc
    ....I made a simple color picker using the rgb to hsl with Lazarus....
    https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B68...ut=list&num=50

    Looking forward to updates on your new editor.

    its almost finished. As of now this will work with linux and windows, with mac i hvnt tested. I hope it works fine. In this creator i hv included all the possible settings. But the tinting part is a little bit confusing for me. I asm coding with Qt (c++). I dont know how I should include tinting picker. pls give me an idea on how to inculde it. Making it available, will make this creator a complete one!
    and btw for the editor part i think its better if i release it with next version.
