Developer style switch (Chrome extension)

Hello world !,

It is proud to announce my first Google Chrome extension. I hope this will be useful to work on style amends of live site. Basically what this so is, load new custom style to any website without actually making any changes on Live site. To work this, you need latest dev version of Chrome, which supports extensions.

  • Whoops I'm stupid you would have to repackage it every time you modified it, so it is best to have it unpackaged. Nevermind.

    • Hmm :)
      well, but it is better to give packed extension. I should check how can I make those values configurable

  • I packaged this into a .crx for you if you want it. That way all they have to do is click it on this page and it will load and not do the typing in that shortcut.
