During the process of figuring out how to construct a CRX theme for Chrome, I put together a cheat-sheet for myself. That cheat-sheet turned into a fully detailed list of elements and definitions. That fully detailed list was later coupled with a pretty involved Photoshop template that gave me a real-time view of the theme while making color and image changes, which then totally simplified the whole process of doing the actual scripting.

It is GoDaddy that has frustrated, angered, and ultimately disappointed me the most.
