  • No one's made a guide on how to make a JSON type file.

    I've been confused. I've done the basics with the icon, popup.html but when I try to load the unpacked extension, it says the manifest file does not exist.

  • @PrmeHntr How did you create the manifest.json file? - Make sure you saved it using the name "manifest.json" with "All Files" selected, otherwise Windows may save the file as "manifest.json.txt" and just hide the .txt extension.

  • Well, ok I have a toolbar for IE, is there a way I can turn it into a Chrome Extension?

  • @AllBonJoviMusic As far as I'm aware there is no way to "convert" an IE toolbar to a chrome extension directly, you would have to rebuild it or find an extension that does the same job as the toolbar in the Chrome Web Store.

  • Hello nice tutorial and thx for the templet,can i make some sort of an animaton for it (like gmail has t) did you reserh this stuff little more sou you could give me some link of tutorials ect ,thx infornt!

  • @gigo221 I can't remember any specific tutorial but I found lots of information related to making extensions on google. As far as animations go, have a look at using jQuery - It provides lots of nice effects such as sliding/fading as well as many useful functions that can help you perform complex tasks with only a few lines of code.

see all
