Custom Button is a simple Chrome extension where you can customize a button, set an URL, change the icon and some other stuff.
Just go to options and set the url and the window mode on activation. You can also set a regular expression to match a certain domain and activate notifications when the match fails.
Set the url you want to launch. For example:*http://digg.com/reader*
Add %url anywhere in the string and it will be replaced by the active tab url. For example:
http://www.sciweavers.org/iWeb2Shot?url=%url
Choose the opening mode:
- Current tab: opens in the active tab.
- New tab: creates a new tab.
- New window: creates a new Chrome window.
- Popup window: create a new window but in a popup style, no toolbar, no tab bar, just window border and content.
- Popup on button: tries to open the site in a popup. Due to browser security policies, some sites won't load in the button popup. For example Google sites and Facebook won't load.
For example, you could set the url to chrome://extensions and then set it to open on a popup window. This way your button will open the extensions page on a separate popup window, pretty cool!
Sets the icon on the button and notifications.JPG/PNG/ICO format and 19x19px is recommended or it will be resized (but try other dimensions anyway, it may look fine).
*Maximum size of 100KB.* You can make the button work only on a certain domain.
Matches any url by default.
Uses *regular expressions* (test it here if you want).
For example, this will match any *http/https* site: **^(http|https)://*** Shows desktop notification when domain doesn't match. When active it's possible to change the title and text for the notification. **Custom Icon** by **Rubén Martínez** is licensed as GPLv3.
