setBadgeText position & transparent?

[Developer09]

I would like to write some text over my extension icon like
setBadgeText does it but. But the problem is that setBadgeText doesn't
allow to set a transparent background and the position of the text
can't be set also.

Does anyone know an alternative how to handle that without using
canvas?

Thanks

Without using canvas this isn't possible.   I'd argue that badge consistency across extensions is a desirable feature for end users.

You CAN make the badge transparent.

Please read the document, it's in there:

http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/browserAction.html#method-setBadgeBackgroundColor


You can set the background color to a defined opacity.

Enter this before you set the badge text:

chrome.browserAction.setBadgeBackgroundColor({"color": [225, 0, 0,
100]});

The [255, 0, 0, 100] (or you can call it RGBA) means the color is red
and opacity is 100 out of 255 (half-transparent).


The position of the badge can't be set by the extension so sorry. :(

Hopes this will help you.

Ah, you're completely right.  Sorry about that.

Does that make the badge completely transparent? I thought the way the
badge code worked was that we overlap a greyscale image on top of a
developer-defined ARGB color. Even if you set the background color to
full transparent, you'll still see the greyscale pill image floating
in space.

I don't know about the image floating(i think it's the shadow maybe)
but if you think it's a bug then you can report it at crbug.com.

Another thing is that, it's not ARGB, it's RGBA. :)
