How to Create a New Google Chrome Theme V2

The first how-to is here. Now I created a script that replaces all resources in default.dll file. That makes our work a lot easier.

Download New Theme KIT V2 and extract the zip file to any folder on your computer.

Step 1:

Edit the files in images folder.

Step 2:

Download Resource Hacker, extract and put all files next to replace-resources.bat.

Step 3:

Run replace-resources.bat - this will create a default.dll file with your new theme.

Download:

• New Theme KIT V2 [545Kb]

Tools:

• Resource Hacker

How to Install:

To install your new theme, copy the default.dll file and replace the one found in C:\Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application\0.2.149.27\Themes\ for XP users, or C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\0.2.149.27\Themes\ for Vista users

Important Notes:

Don’t forget to make backup of default theme file before replacing with new one.
Don't change the size of the png files when editing them.
