Thanks!

This is a Python script. Run it using:

sudo python chromefix.py

(It's not obvious)

Thanks!

@kuzirashi - Thanks for the comment, it helped me!

Thanks for the script. 👍

This doesn't work for me, for some reason. Looks like an issue where the config has spaces inserted either side of the equals, which for some reason either Docky or Chrome or my DWM / DE doesn't like. I'm using Kubuntu with latest stable chrome, and removing the spaces does make it work. Any suggestions from OP? I did try this but it didn't work:

with open(config_file, 'r') as file:
        filedata = file.read()

filedata = filedata.replace(' = ', '=')

with open(config_file, 'w') as file:
        file.write(filedata)
