restore-google-icons

Recognizable tabs for Google services

Fork of the Restore old Google icons extension.

• Removes cruft (e.g. background script, popups, unused files)
• Fixes icons for Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms
• Refactored code (e.g. don’t repeat icon definitions, don’t reset icon every second)

Usage

I’m not publishing this extension to the Chrome Web Store as it’s a fork for personal usage.
But you can still use it by following these steps:

1. Download the source code (e.g. clone or download latest release and unzip it)
2. In Chrome, go to chrome://extensions/ (In Brave, go to brave://extensions/)
3. Enable “Developer mode”
4. Click “Load unpacked” and select the directory with the extension’s source code

Release

When pushing a tag to GitHub, it creates a zip of the source as the release.
But if you want to have a slimmer release with only the necessary files:

1. Create and push git tag for the new version
2. Bundle the extension: zip -9 -r restore-google-icons.zip manifest.json *.js
3. Go to the relevant release on GitHub and upload zip
