Windows 10: Bookmarks Bar In Chrome

Hello!

Is there a way to add an additional 'Bookmarks Bar' under the normal one in Chrome?

Just so you all know, I'm not trying to be a mooch. If I see a thread asking about something I can help with, I'm there.

If you have found a theme that is almost acceptable but would like to
customize it further, this is how you do that in steps.

Step 1 : Allow the viewing of hidden files

1. In the Control Panel, open File Explorer Options.
   
2. Go to the View tab for a list of advanced settings
   
3. Under "Hidden files and folders" click "Show hidden files, folders, and drives"
   
4. Click OK
   

Step 2 : Find your theme

1. Open Windows Explorer
   
2. Navigate to
   C:\Users\[user-name]\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions
   
3. Sort by date descending the list of folders that have strange names
   to find your theme (should be the most recent one).
   

Step 3 : Modify the theme

1. In the folder of the theme (or a sub-folder), open the file
   manifest.json in a text editor.
   
2. Find the "colors" section which will look like this:
   
   

and also :

1. The color of the bookmarks text is given by "bookmark_text"
   and the numbers inside the parenthesis contain the RGB values
   (red, green, blue).
   
2. Change the number to the color you like. You may use a color-picker
   for that (picker1
   or picker2
   or any other).
   
3. If you wish to change the background color of the header,
   this is unfortunately specified by an image
   in "theme_toolbar". You could use the
   Chrome Theme Creator to build another one.
   
4. Save your changes and restart Chrome.
   

I suggest making a copy of the theme's folder before modifying
the file manifest.json as a backup.

Where did my Chrome bookmarks go?

Hello KatrinaPappas, my name is Irisdiel and I am an independent advisor.

I suggest you follow the instructions down below.

-Search for "Bookmarks.bak" in Windows Explorer

-Right-click the file and choose "Open file location" to open the folder, which should be your Chrome user data folder (i.e., Users/[Username]/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/User Data/Default)

-Open the bookmarks backup file in Notepad. Your old bookmarks, hopefully, are listed there

-In Chrome, go to Settings > Advanced sync settings (under the Sign in section) and change the sync settings so that Bookmarks aren't synced, if they currently are set to sync

-Close Chrome

-Back in the Chrome user data folder, find another "Bookmarks" file without an extension. Rename it "Bookmarks2.bak"

-Then rename the "Bookmarks.bak" file to "Bookmarks"

Hope this helps!

Thank you and good luck,

Regards- .
