Help with my theme
Hi, I'm new to creating themes. I used chromium theme creator v2 to make a theme, only to find out after I finished that it didn't make a manifest.json file for my theme, but instead a .dll file. Now I am stuck and I don't know how to make the .dll file a manifest.json file. Can anybody convert it for me? I made a mediafire upload that includes the .dll file, the chromium project file, and all of it's contents. Here is the link: http://www.mediafire.com/?hh5v4rv2c13jn92. Please help!
You should just stop using the Theme Creator. It is old and out of date exactly because it creates a default.dll. That was the old hacking method only used before Chrome 3.x. No current version of Chrome will use the default.dll.
You can see if the Theme Creator will actually get updated:

or else just follow this guide for making Chrome themes:

That is to say, you can easily create the manifest.json yourself using any text editor:

what I don't get is why there are less options for this than in a .dll file, like how come I can't edit the corners of tabs like I could before
I guess it's because the Chrome devs have not provided the ability to mod those graphics yet.
