    Default Please Help CRX Theme

    I need a little help with making a theme that skins the forward, back, home, star, go and stop buttons in crx format. With what each thing means.
    "back": "images/back.png",
    I'm guessing this is just how it normally looks not pressed or hovered or with it.
    "back_d": "images/back_d.png",
    This is how it looks when there is no previous page and you no more to go back.
    "back_h": "images/back_h.png,
    This is how it looks hovered over with it.
    "back_p": "images/back_p.png",
    Now this is how it looks pressed.
    Please correct me if I'm wrong so I can make a theme (hopefully).

    Now all buttons can not be done in .crx
    This is possible only in .dll

    http://code.google.com/p/chromium/is...etail?id=18065

    Buttons Compatibility (crx): Chrome Beta 3.0.193.2 / Dev 3.0.195.4 / Chromium 3.0.196.0 (21508)

    I missed that thought it worked. This is a bug right? It's not permanent or anything? No wonder your Toons Buttons Theme stopped working . So my only choice is to make a theme through the dll method if I want to skin the buttons . And how do I update the themes to work with new versions? Do I need another program besides Chromium Theme Creator?

    besides CTC you would need the new images files and the current .rc file to create a theme in dll format

    Clouds,
    This is not a bug...
    Now you need Restorator + Hands

    I'm having problems with making the default.dll for Google Chrome 3.0.196.2, I've downloaded this:
    And here's the current .rc if you need it: http://logicplace.com/pc/projects/ch...0v3.0.196.2.rc
    And I put it in this:
    C:\Program Files\Chromium Theme Creator
    file and restarted CTC and in the error log it says this:
    GoRC.Exe Version 0.90.1 - Copyright Jeremy Gordon 1998/2005 - JG@JGnet.co.uk

    You have to zip the new images as well into a file called "theme.zip" and put it in the CTC directory as well.
    Also next time, please post that in the CTC .rc generator thread so I can for sure see it.

    For future reference the lines "A resource type was not recognised and assumed to be user-defined:-BINDATA" are normal, just ignore them.

    EDIT: Though I think there's a problem with the generated headers anyways? I will look more in-depth...

    I downloaded the trial of Restorator and I don't get how it applies to Chrome.

    I don't get the point of that. I didn't do it to make a theme for Chrome 2.0.171.0, in which btw my theme looks nice in just needs more work done.
