[XTools] XChrome - Beta Release 5

[DistroJockey]

B33T, Just a little bug I found with Beta 5:

Using up and down arrows to change between themes, does not update the theme information display.
At present, you have to click with the mouse for the info to be updated.

XChrome Beta Release 5

Just wanna say YEAH! huge props for this tool. The very very first thing I thought when I'd made a few virgin clicks through Chrome (after, "oops Microsoft's got it coming..") was "hmmm, I need some theme facilities here.."

Love it peeps.

Awesome, thanks!

Can I offer a suggestion?

Can you add a setting to allow the user to select the Chrome theme folder?

I use the portable version and cannot use XChrome other than to look at the themes.

Thank you!

[B33T]

Thanks Gigajosh,
and Murph I adding that setting at the moment to XChrome it should be included in the next release.

Hmmm....I'm getting "Unable to edit default.dll due to permission denied. please ensure Chrome is closed."

1. Chrome is closed

2. I've run RegisterDlls (result: DllRegisterServer in MSCOMCTL.OCX succeeded)

3. I've rebooted

4. I'm running all of the XChrome stuff from an XChrome folder, not the 0.2.149.29 folder

5. If I rename the Chrome default.dll and replace it with another theme's default.dll, the theme changes

I'm having the same issue, tried the same steps, same results. I checked the themes folder, and it looks like it's recursively set to read only...I manually change that, but my change isn't retained when I hit 'apply'. I've tried to do it on every folder above that in the path, all the way up to 'local settings', but with those same results each time. Manually changing the default.dll works (the theme changes), but xChrome can't seem to gain access to write in that folder.

FYI, I'm running XP sp3, Chrome 0.2.149.29, and I'm running xChrome from it's own folder.

I was helping my dad get XChrome set up and was having the same problem that Charlie/Bill/sirphunkee has been having (he uses a Dell Vista home edition, quad-core, not sure about everything else) and I haven't been able to fix it. Granted, I was able to get him the new Firefox theme through editing the default.dll files myself, but I'm wondering why it doesn't work for him and a few others (and works perfectly for me and many others).

Check this out Peanut.

Yep, I tried that too but it didn't work either.
