Is your gmail background image size being set to some huge value, causing your eyes pain and making you hate life? Me too. Here's a little hack to make it go away.

GMail Background Image Size Fixer

Is your gmail background image size being set to some huge value, causing your eyes pain and making you hate life? Me too. I don't know why this started happening, but it drove me crazy enough to build this hack.

Quick Start

git clone git://github.com/knksmith57/chrome-gmail-bg-image-size-fixer.git
cd chrome-gmail-bg-image-size-fixer && npm install
grunt

After the clone, we call npm install to grab all the dependencies needed for the grunt build. You can check out the Gruntfile.js if you'd like, but it's pretty basic; just some concatenation / uglification.

Loading into Chrome

After running grunt, the tidied up extension files will be dropped into the dist directory. Make note of where this is, then hop into chrome and load up chrome://extensions and do the following:

1. ✔ Developer Mode in the top right corner
2. Click on Load unpacked extension
3. Select the dist directory

By the way, these directions are verbatim from the Chrome Getting Started page.

Pull requests are always welcome, or you can get at me with any suggestions --> @knksmith57. Disclaimer: This is my first ever chrome extension. It's probably the worst way to build this sort of tweak
