Put site icons in Chimera Bookmarks Toolbar.
Very nice hint regarding Google, and perfectly complements this discussion thread from MacCentral which (eventually) explains how to put site icons in the Bookmark Toolbar of Chimera 0.5, a feature disabled by default. The original post has an image of the author's toolbar with at least twenty icons visible, and in the thread, Lebowski and I arrived at two separate methods.
Ctrl-click on Chimera.app and choose "Show Package Contents" from the contextual menu (or use Terminal.app) Navigate to ->/Contents/MacOS/defaults/pref and in your favorite editor, open EITHER all.jsOR chimera.js If you edit 'all.js', find (with Cmd-F) the line pref("browser.chrome.favicons", false); and change 'false' to 'true' [Lebowski's Method]
If you edit 'chimera.js', ADD the line pref("browser.chrome.favicons", true); [My Method]
Both work perfectly, but I suspect that the good Lebowski is editing the correct file, since the line already exists there. Now, when you mark a page, the icon for that site (if it has one) will replace the generic bookmark icon in your drawer, and your toolbar, if you set them there. If you want icons without text, select the bookmark in the sidebar drawer and press Cmd-I. Simply leave the name field blank. I used this hint to set a Google search shortcut, but with the Google 'G' icon instead of a generic bookmark. Instead of bookmarking a blank new page or tab, mark the Google site to retain the icon, then when you select and Cmd-I your new bookmark, paste the string from robg's hint into the Location field. Neat and sweet! Mac OS X Hints has a rilly kewl blue 'X' icon in my toolbar now! |
