Based on LouCypher's Google Logo Replacer. (http://userstyles.org/style/show/76) In addition to his style, this does also change the logo for the 'google images' front page and the logo on top left of the search pages. I added the code for both german and english google, remove it if you dont need it. I removed the 'sign in' bars on top of the search result pages. Make sure to insert your images where i marked it with 'YOUR IMAGE HERE' and adjust the padding and height according to your images. The screenshots are just an example with the images i'm using. ------ (@ marcanth: woops i was sure it would work with file:///..i barely ever use that anywhere so i just figured it would (i always use data:URI) and for pics that are too big i dump them into the content folder of the jar of an extension i never update. using chrome links definitely works.. for example i use the about:notblank extension for that since i never update that one..i just dump the images in its content folder and can then access it via for example chrome://aboutnotblank/content/google.png)

Great code, except is there some fix you can make so it doesn't change the logo on gmail as well? ****

fantastic. i used an ico (a small image) and changed all widths to small px (2px, 4px). Result: Shrunk the logo waste space to a slim vert line. Btw, you can also restyle form elements. Two failed experiments: experiment1) tried local path to ico in searchplugin folder. experiment 2) i tried stealing the data:..base64... from searchplugin xml file. But the logo reverts to google's standard spacewaster (though still squished to 4px wide :-) ) One remaining problem is that the replace/squish effect occurs for only web and image search pages. Isn't there some regex-like way to specify all google domain/urls? ____________Errr, ok, subfantastic. With more height: width: experimentation, i realized this isn't blotting the logowaste, just restyling the size&padding. However, if you want a goo bgrd img this works: background-image: url(http:www.google.com/groups/img/favicon.ico) !important; Also set width,height,padding to 0px *

Do extensions use jar files also? Or did you mean themes? Extensions are downloaded with xpi but I don't know if the xpi file will generate jar files. Thanks for explaining. I will see and try this method also. Anyway, I think that perhaps you could explain on the text that this will not work on local files unless if bundled to a content folder of the jar of an extension (theme whatever), converted to data:URI or if the image is loaded from a server. Anyway, good job on this style. *****

marcanth, the url(file:///path) works on chromes (XUL) , but not in contents (web pages). *****

Looks good, now we need a repository of images using base64. *****
