16 Jun 08 Chrome Hack – How to change User Agent String in Chrome!

Changing User Agent String with any browser is a useful hack that can be used to get free WiFi at Starbucks hotspots .

Here’s a real ghetto hack that involves changing the hex values of chrome.dll using a free hex editor.

Simply open the file and look for something like this:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/525.13 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/0.X.Y.Z Safari/525.13.

Then change to something like this or any other user agent string:

Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU like Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/420+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0 Mobile/1A543 Safari/419.3

The result is shown below where the browser will act like an iPhone Browser.

This might actually be useful for testing applications for the iPhone browser. Of course, you can do it in Firefox too but Google Chrome browser is probably closer to the iPhone’s Safari browser since it’s based on the WebKit.

14 Jun 08 Chrome Hack – HOWTO create your own Google Chrome Themes using Chromium Theme Creator!

Here’s how you can create your own Google Chrome Themes using the Chromium Theme Creator:

Download Chromium Theme Creator Here

With this tool, to build the themes\default.dll file is far from a click.
A rewrite from scratch has been done, because I’ve lost (or almost) my previous source code, now I’m working on another computer. Since my notebook has its LCD display’s backlight damaged I couldn’t reach the previous source code. However this new one is written for Lazarus compiler.
First and foremost -> Requirements:
GoRC.exe
- Authorship details inside the same theme file, now.
- Preview themes: This tool will show some images from the Theme file itself by dragging theme files and dropping over it in order to preview it and if you want you can replace default.dll in Chrome’s path and after that Launch it by clicking Apply button.

14 Jun 08 Chrome Hack – How to make Email Bookmark for Gmail in Google Chrome!

Screenshot of the Gmail Write New Mail Bookmark

Here’s a great way to make a Email Link bookmark in Gmail in Google Chrome so it takes you straight to “Compose Mail”.

Someone has posted a bookmarklet to email links with your default mail program, but for those who use Gmail as webmail, this will work.
Make a new bookmark and make the name Email with Gmail or whatever you want, and the URL
Code:
javascript:document.location='https://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=1&view=cm&fs=1&su='+document.title+'&body='+document.location;
If you want a pop-up bookmarklet, use the following URL
Code:

That currently opens a new tab. I’m working on getting the pop-out effect that Gmail has.
Unfortunately, middle-clicking the first one does not work, because when it opens it in a new tab, it is reading the URL and title from that new tab instead of the original one you wanted to to link to. I may work on a solution to this in the future.
Oddly this makes the text box in Gmail not the width of the screen. I’m not sure why that is, but it works just fine- just looks a little funny. If anyone can offer any wisdom to this, I would appreciate it.

13 Jun 08 Quick Tip – How to Open Hotmail in Chrome!

Here’s a quick hack although many of you probably know this:

1. Visit Hotmail.com
2. Login
3. The resulting page says that Hotmail cannot identify your browser (Typical MS style, if you think it’s better than your own, pretend it doesn’t exist! Try ignoring Firefox now!). Near the bottom of this page is a link which says “continue anyway” or something on that mood. Click on that and you are good to go. And use the new 0.4beta of Chrome for better performance.

Tada. Enjoy.

06 Jun 08 Essential Chrome CSS Hacks?

For those of you who are web site designers/programmers, you need to realize first-hand that the Google Chrome is based on WebKit and therefore, it’s very similar to Safari, which is also built on the WebKit.

To get started, here’s a CSS hack I found for the Google Chrome that might help you get started.

Non-compliant selectors can be used and a valid way to target individual browsers. Chrome supports every selector, just like Safari 3.1. My recommendation is to use the body:first-of-type hack, the CSS hack/filter for Safari as a filter for Safari 3+ and Chrome. There should be no reason to target Chrome with the exclusion of Safari 3.1, but if you want to target both, filtering out Safari 3.0, I would try using:
