Create Chrome Themes with Chromium Theme Creator

With this tool, to build the themes\default.dll file is far from a click.

Since the previous GChromeRES is slow and image names not well described, I made an alternative way, so this is it.

First and foremost -> Requirements:

GoRC.exe by Jeremy Gordon

http://www.jorgon.freeserve.co.uk/

and

ResHacker.exe by Angus Johnson

http://angusj.com/resourcehacker/

These files must be in the same directory where you’re going to extract this tool.

How to use:

– The zip file has PNG files in separate directories, you just edit them, and build with this tool.
– Test button to automatically replace the default.dll with the built one, so theme’s path must be correct.
– With Build+Test, is a shortcut for those actions, without the need to answer any questions.
Added Drag&Drop feature for dragging “default.dll” and dropping it in order to replace default.dll in Chrome’s path and after that Launch it.

Note: images or icons must not be moved from their directories, so once completed a theme design, backup those files to start another one…

However, if you want to modify the folder tree, just arrange them and modifiy default.rc file according to that.

I tested in WinXP and Vista, with Chromium and Google Chrome respectively, since this is a beta release, some bugs might be found.

   Ha, ha, ha… too late to news. This tool was for old version of Chrome, with newer versions, can’t work. However, the newer Theme Creator version does work. I don’t know why this entry hasn’t been updated too. So it would help you.

    It’s likely the tool either built a bad default.dll or built an older version.

    Article explicitly states that it modifies and/or replaces the file:

    <>

    <>

    BACK UP ANY FILES BEING MODIFIED!!!!

    If you had, you probably could have simply put it back.

    Of course, the tool should’ve checked versioning first AND backed up default.dll before putting in the new one…
