Skinning Google Chrome
in Windows 10 - 64 bit
Monday, March 28, 2022 by The-Reaper-Man | Discussion: WindowBlinds
Is there a way to get WindowBlinds 10.89 (064 - Windows 10 Edition) - 64 bit OS to skin the Google Chrome browser? Or if it is even possible. I got WindowBlinds to skin Firefox but so far no luck on Chrome. Any replies would be greatly appreciated.

Go into WB config / Settings and check this box:
Then make a Chrome shortcut:
This is the full text of the Target, a copy/paste:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" -disable-windows10-custom-titlebar
If you want to use shortcuts to go directly to sites, make normal (non-URL) shortcuts similar to the above, with the site address included. This would be for the forums (also a copy/paste):
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" -disable-windows10-custom-titlebar http://forums.wincustomize.com/recent/
You only need the -disable...etc when you launch Chrome, so if you're someone who launches Chrome and then leaves it open you shouldn't need to add the -disable...etc to all the site shortcuts.
I think a few people haven't been able to get this to work for some reason, but it's been reliable for me.
