COMPLETE! Custom Icons on Google Toolbar

by Jason Bean on May 16th, 2008

In my previous post I was wondering how in the world to change the icons on my Google Toolbar. Then Greg gave me exactly what I was looking for in the comments!

Before he gave me the solution my Google Toolbar looked like this:

After the solution, it looks like this:

google-toolbar-custom-icons

EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR IN THE SOLUTION!

For anyone that’s interested and has these same icons in their toolbar, here’s the Base64 code you’ll need to paste into the configuration.

4 opinions for COMPLETE! Custom Icons on Google Toolbar

    I have a comment. Why should I be expected to know “how to” make a custom icon when there were already identifiable icons on my former Google toolbar on my old HP computer? Now all I get are those little generic blue things, and to suggest that the website I’m linking to doesn’t have a specific icon is just “incorrect.”

    Lois I agree, you’d think the default behaviour would be to grab the favicon.ico file as specified on the website they’re linking to in the toolbar.

    Thank you, Jason, for your reply. The trouble is that although I started working with computers (programming) “way back” in the late 60’s, I have not kept up with all the advances or programming languages, so I’m really “in the dark” when someone tries to tell me I can “create my own” icon. Duh. Sorry, not me. I need them right out there where all I have to do is click on them and they “appear.”

    What happens if you download the Toolbar 5 beta? http://toolbar.google.com/t5
