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

are there alternatives to Restorator ?

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:

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.
