| <h1 id="icons">Manifest - Icons</h1> |
| |
| <p> |
| One or more icons that represent the extension, app, or theme. |
| You should always provide a 128x128 icon; |
| it's used during installation and by the Chrome Web Store. |
| Extensions should also provide a 48x48 icon, |
| which is used in the extensions management page |
| (chrome://extensions). |
| You can also specify a 16x16 icon to be used as the favicon |
| for an extension's pages. |
| The 16x16 icon is also displayed in the experimental extension |
| <a href="http://developer.chrome.com/extensions/infobars">infobar</a> |
| feature. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| Icons should generally be in PNG format, |
| because PNG has the best support for transparency. |
| They can, however, be in any format supported by WebKit, |
| including BMP, GIF, ICO, and JPEG. |
| Here's an example of specifying the icons: |
| </p> |
| |
| <pre data-filename="manifest.json"> |
| "icons": { "16": "icon16.png", |
| "48": "icon48.png", |
| "128": "icon128.png" }, |
| </pre> |
| |
| <p class="note"> |
| You may provide icons of any other size you wish, and Chrome will attempt to use |
| the best size where appropriate. For example, Windows often requires 32-pixel |
| icons, and if the app includes a 32-pixel icon, Chrome will choose that instead |
| of shrinking a 48-pixel icon down. However, you should ensure that all of your |
| icons are square, or unexpected behavior may result. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| If you upload your extension, app, or theme using the |
| <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/developer/dashboard">Chrome Developer Dashboard</a>, |
| you'll need to upload additional images, |
| including at least one screenshot of your extension. |

| see the |
| <a href="http://code.google.com/chrome/webstore/">Chrome Web Store |
| developer documentation</a>. |
