Hi,

I want to change chrome toolbar buttons(like back,forward, refresh
..etc..) with custom images.
I have downloaded chrome git code and compiled in ubuntu.
To change toolbar buttons i have replaced my images in
chrome/app/theme with default chrome images.
After compilation when i run chrome its showing default chrome toolbar
buttons instead of my buttons.
Before launching i removed ~/.config/chromium and ~/.cache/chromium folders.

Please some body suggest me why i am unable to replace toolbar images
with my images.


Thanks and Regards
PPK

By default, chromium on linux uses the GTK theme, which doesn't use
these bitmaps. You can go to Settings->Personal and tell chrome to use
the non-gtk theme, then your buttons should show up.

If you just want to replace these bitmaps, consider writing a theme
instead of changing the source:
