This might just be a personal gripe but I found it difficult to distinguish between the off and on states on first use. Other icons included for context.

I find it almost impossible to see the difference with my theme. Any way of manually changing the icon myself?

After a bit of playing around, I've managed to edit it myself somewhat.

  1. Try checking where the Chrome extensions are (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14543896/where-does-chrome-store-extensions).
  2. In that folder, find live reload
  3. Edit IconDisabled.png so it becomes clearer for you.

Some notes about editing the icon:

  • You can't change the colour at all, else the extension corrupts
  • You can't change the brightness either
  • I've found you can remove some of the icon, and it behaves properly

My 'disabled' icon now looks like this:

Even easier:

  1. Clone this repo
  2. Run grunt chrome
  3. Unzip the zip file it creates in /dist
  4. Replace the icons with colored ones
  5. Load Unpacked Extension in Chrome Extensions

Much better:
