Chrome UI Tweaks

This mod currently implements two tweaks for Chrome, on x86-64 Windows:

Simplified Bookmark Flow

Disable the "Simplified Bookmark Flow" feature (see https://issues.chromium.org/issues/41496433). When creating a new bookmark, you will immediately see the "Edit Bookmark" window.

"Chrome Refresh 2023" brought significant changes to the user interface, including rounding the corners of menus (as well as many other UI elements) and significantly increasing the spacing between items, meaning fewer menu items can fit on screen.

This tweak lets you configure many menu UI values. This will affect several kinds of menus:

  • Main options/settings menu (three dots at the top right, "Customize and control Google Chrome")
  • Bookmark menus (not including the bookmark bar itself)
  • Context menu (when you right-click)

Keep in mind unexpectedly large, small, or negative values may cause graphical issues. Most values are measured in device-independent-pixels (i.e. will scale with DPI), and you will probably want to keep them relatively small (below 50), but feel free to experiment.

item_vertical_margin is the only MenuConfig setting that is changed initially. All other MenuConfig mod settings are negative one (-1) by default. If any MenuConfig mod setting is -1, it will be ignored. You can use this to reset a value back to default. Other negative values are increased by one (eg, setting of -3 will be interpreted as -2). Actual default values are described for each option if they exist/are known; the four potential defaults are:

  • Old, for default values usually originating from before Chrome 75 (before 2019)
  • CR2023, for default values of Chrome Refresh 2023
  • Win10, for default values on Windows 10 (before CR2023)
  • Win11, for default values on Windows 11 (before CR2023)

Note that the "Old" default values may not look the same way as in older versions of Chrome due to other changes in the Chrome code.

Issues

Due to implementation details, this mod may stop working on new Chrome versions. You can report issues on github: https://github.com/VasherMC/windhawk-mods/issues
