Customize already installed theme on Google Chrome

[SHOOK_Linus]

Ok, so I have a theme on chrome that I like, all except 1 thing, which is the font color for the bookmarks bar blends into the color behind it and I would like to change the font color, I know a little bit of Java Script if I need to change the code or the Hex color in the code for the color, I just need to know where or how to access it, thanks.

app data --> local --> somewhere.

Copy the directory with the theme out to somewhrer else.

Change the manifest.json file.

Enable dev mode in chrome and re-pack the extension.

Drag it into chrome to install it.

 

I did it this morning. its pretty easy.

what do you mean by enable dev mode and repack the extension and then drag it in, I got everything else done

i.e: please explain how to do these last steps

Right click on one of your extensions in the chrome menu --> manage extensions --> tick checkbox at the top "developer mode" --> pack extension --> point it at the directory which contains the manifest.json file. Drag the .crx file into chrome to install it. For subsequent re-packs point the second line at the .pem file that is auto created in the parent directory (same directory as the .crx output file)

 

For just testing hit you can hit 'load unpacked extension' but I prefer to pack and install each time.

 

You can change the images too. Just be careful not to make them too large, as otherwise switching between tabs is very slow in version 61.xxx and 62.xxxx 60.xxx is fine though.

Thanks, it was saying at first that it couldn't load the extension because it couldn't find the manifest.json file but I fixed it by pointing it 1 folder forward and deleting the _metadeta folder as it was not liking it and it works fine without it. Thanks!!
