Fork of the [Restore old Google icons](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/restore-old-google-icons/iellnmonjokmoagdlggagdmfjgpiahmb/related) extension.

- Removes cruft (e.g. background script, popups, unused files)

- Fixes icons for Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms

- Refactored code (e.g. don't repeat icon definitions, don't reset icon every second)

### Usage

I'm not publishing this extension to the Chrome Web Store as it's a fork for personal usage.  

But you can still use it by following these steps:

1. Download the source code (e.g. clone or download latest release and unzip it)

2. In Chrome, go to `chrome://extensions/` (In Brave, go to `brave://extensions/`)

3. Enable "Developer mode"

4. Click "Load unpacked" and select the directory with the extension's source code

### Release

When pushing a tag to GitHub, it creates a zip of the source as the release.

But if you want to have a slimmer release with only the necessary files:

1. Create and push git tag for the new version

2. Bundle the extension: `zip -9 -r restore-google-icons.zip manifest.json *.js`

3. Go to the relevant release on GitHub and upload zip
