Chromium

Ideally, we would allow users to either choose an image from their local hard drive, or provide a URL to an image on the web.

Also, do we need a way to let the user crop or resize the icon?

Or simply take whatever profile picture is associated with a logged-in Google+ account?

I think you should consider unifying the ChromeOS account avatar with the Chrome profile avatar. It seems a bit odd as a user that they are not the same.

If the user selects a photo it may make sense to apply some kind of alpha mask to make it fit nicely into the UI.

I like the idea of simply adding a custom avatar feature, as stated in 2011!  Users are fantastic for separating types of work, and the avatars provided are not good enough to achieve this.

How many avatars can we choose from? Are you for real? There is a wide selection of colorful blank heads.

I agree - Users accounts is a great feature but the Icons are looked at for recognition and any sort of custom icon (whether it be unification with Chrome account, upload, etc... would be a great option.

Is there a way to hack into the place where these icons are stored in the meantime (since it doesn't appear this is any kind of priority for Google)?

I don't necessarily need *more* icons to choose from. If I could simply overwrite some of the default ones (e.g. ninja, dog, cat, pokemon, etc).

I would also like to know how to hack/hijack the icons until there is a way to select my own.  I've looked through the chrome package contents and done some searching online and have not yet found a way to do this. Anyone?

Additionally, I do not think that having the icon associated (necessarily) with a google+ account is a good idea.  I use different profiles/users for different uses. One for Trello, one for banking, one for FaceBook, one for testing applications, etc etc etc... This is my primary reason for using Chrome. I would not want to have a different google account for each profile simply to have a custom icon.

I know it's a small thing, but I too would like the ability to upload custom avatars.  I use the Chrome browser for development and testing and have been using the profile feature to create different sessions; this allows me to be logged in to a single site with different user accounts and test.

Being able to custom selet the avatar would be additional help to make sure what user profile I am using.

This has been bought up before but I'll repeat it. If this feature is not getting enough love then just make it so we can easily hack our own. Please? I'm tired of looking at my ninja and cat :)

Yes, I've been proselytizing for Chrome because of its great support for multi-accounts, but every time I show it to someone new, I am sorely embarrassed by the avatars.

Adding custom avatars would mostly solve the problem (and would be the easiest from an engineering standpoint), but I also think we need to provide a much better set of default avatars.

The variance of personalities within the current set of avatars is about 10% of what it could be, even given the exact same number of icons. So I think that variety in the default selection can and should be improved too.

This feature is not currently staffed. (Contributions welcome.)

USer should be given option to choose the avtaar icon by providing a blank custom icon which allow one to browse and select the picture located on local drive or on url, as we have in google talk.

I add my voice - The poor selection of 'avatars' is annoying, because they aren't various enough to reflect what the profile is for. I use chrome profiles to partition my workspace - i.e. one is called 'Web Development', others called 'Uni Work', 'App Development', 'Data Analysis'. In combination with the 'Speed Dial' extension (the original one where you can rearrange the 'dials' in a 9x9 grid), this gives me a visual workbench. Each profile has only links and Extensions specific to the activity - I.e. the 'Web Developer' extension isn't installed in the 'Data Analysis' profile.

So I use chrome profiles as a de-facto operating system for web related stuff, and would like to see the custom avatars but more as 'icons'. I'd like, for instance to have 'Web Development' be the Web-globe-with-a-hammer icon, and of course the others be what I think typifies them. That means being at the very least to be able to specify a URL for an image, but most usefully both that or a disk-housed image.

Further to what I wrote in #23 - I definitely *would not be happy* with being _forced_ to use icons from google+, etc.

I would stop using chromium, in that case. I'd have to find another solution to the way I work...

it seems #13 (tonyfraz) does something similar to me, so I'm not alone.

Could they at least sync it with the Google+ profiles again for the time being? Why did this stop working?

WRT https://crbug.com/chromium/91230#c26 (https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=91230#c26):  How is it good news to hack into the file to change the images if it doesn't actually work?

Support of the feature and suggest sync or custom choice options!

What do you have in mind for "suggest sync or custom choice options"?

In my opinion, the minimum viable implementation of custom avatars is to be able to specify  a URL or file path to associate with a profile.  I imagine that as long as chrome has native support for the image type specified, most of the work involved in loading, sizing, and displaying the file has already been built and can be repurposed for this feature.

Power users, the ones most likely to use the custom avatar icons, are likely knowledgable enough to edit and size whatever image they want, as there are a multitude of image editors available.  I don't think they will need much hand holding.

Syncing with facebook or google plus or anything else just adds complexity to a feature that can otherwise be quite simple.

Since this request has been around for a couple of years, there have been a lot of responses of support from users.  It's clear that this is a desired feature, but not a high priority one for the Chromium team.  What may help move this feature toward development would be to have some requirements behind it.

Re: #39, do you think it's important to sync the profile image with the rest of the profile data (bookmarks, history, open tabs, etc.)?

If a URL were used to specify the image, whether the image itself is then stored in the profile won't matter most of the time.  If the user accesses their profile from a different computer, Chrome can use the URL to retrieve the image.  There's a small question of which profile image should be used if Chrome is unable to retrieve the image from the URL, though.

What I like best about using a URL for the profile image is that Chrome could periodically check for an update and use the latest image available.  I would tell Chrome to get my profile image from my own website or from Gravatar, either of which I could update and everything that refers to them would change at the same time.

If a local file were specified for the profile image, how would that be stored?  Would it be a URL with a "file:" scheme?  Would the image be read from the file and stored in the profile, which could also be synced with the rest of the profile?

I think the minimum feature would be to allow users to load their own icon images from gif, png or jpg files on the filesystem.  These would be stored within the app (so changing the source file wouldn't change the profile icon - you would need to re-load the icon in that case).  There should be clear instructions about any size and dimension constraints/recommendations and very little in the way of post-processing - it's not Chrome's job to create a robust cropping and resizing tool, just to provide a little hole through which the user can pass a pretty picture.

Some nice enhancements would be the URL specification described by #40, integration with the OS account or other social services, and support for animated gifs!  I would expect for the image to be synced with my profile.

Well, personally I only suggested the sync option because that's how it
used to work. Since I mainly use Google products almost exclusively this
came in very handy. All my profiles are attached to Google dashboard so
when I synced the Chrome profile with the right Google profile it grabbed
the usual stuff like my bookmarks, apps and extensions but also my profile
pic and name. It actually never occurred to me to have it sync with
Facebook or any other service out there.

I'd like whatever is easier to code and implement. Either let us choose our
own custom avatars or let it sync with the Google profile again.

For those who really really want to use their Google Account profile picture as their avatar, I'd recommend you run chrome with the --gaia-profile-info switch.

Something like ./chrome --gaia-profile-info

See http://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/run-chromium-with-flags

It worked! Yay! Thank you!

Magic! Thank you, François!

Here's the process that worked for me:  

- Quit Chrome.
- Open Terminal (you'll find this in the Utilities folder in Applications).
- Type exactly this after the dollar sign:  
 /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --gaia-profile-info
- Chrome opens with my profile picture where the avatar picture used to be. Awesome!
- Quit Terminal.  Terminal asks if you want to terminate the current process; click yes.  
- Chrome and Terminal both quit.  

After that, Chrome opens every time with the appropriate Google profile picture in the upper right-hand corner, just as we have all wanted.  Again, my thanks to François.  Hope this helps!

@47  - This is not, repeat not, what I wanted, nor what several others
wanted. We want configurable profile images not connected to a persons
'profile' image. I want an image of a pile of cockroaches a mile high if
the profile I'm working on is about that...

Or are you suggesting that for every topic I work on, like Web Development,
Other Dev, Forex, University course work, etc, I have to set up a google
account? No thanks. I just want to choose an icon.

I hope this 'solution' doesn't derail the request.

My apologies -- I now have exactly what I wanted, but you're quite right, the feature you are looking for is in fact very different. I am sorry to have muddied the waters. For the record, then: many people want "configurable profile images not connected to a persons [Google] 'profile' image."

@48 Could you please not be so rude to people who are just trying to help?!
It may not be the solution YOU wanted but for some of us this is very
useful and a good workaround. If you want to sit around waiting for Google
to fix this issue then good for you. There are other people out there who
can benefit from this type of info though. It's not all about YOU! FFS!

@49 Actually, I'm quite happy with the solution given by Fran

Not rude - just forcefully reiterating that I don't find that a solution.
Your rudeness is unacceptable to me, too (I did NOT think I was being rude,
BTW, so buzz off - I AM being rude to you). I will not reply so don't
bother - I've made my case and if this goes the way that the previous
correspondent has suggested, I will simply stop using chrome and find
another tool.

Please note that this bug is being tracked by many project members who receive emails every time you post here. François gave a workaround that might or might not suit your needs and there's no need to argue about this. Also note that the "please fix this"  type of comments are not helpful, you should instead star the issue.

Let's keep the noise to a minimum otherwise we might have to disallow public comments.

If you used --gaia-profile-info before you can replace the google avatar in one more step: replace ~/.config/chromium/Default/Google Profile Picture.png with your picture of choice. This is for Linux, the path is slightly different on other systems.

It's realy needed function!
I want to can change my chrome profile avatar to custom picture. It's very important for me, because i like totaly control my programs UI.

@#58 I can confirm this is a Flag in Version 30.0.1599.37 beta-m.

Fair enough. For me, identifying my business and personal profile via the
images associated with my private and business google accounts was
satisfactory.


<http://www.growthpath.com.au/>

I agree with #59 and #61. For my company account, I want to use my company logo; for my organization account, I want to use my organization logo. I can't just use Google account avatar because they are all the same picture of me. I need an identification that makes sense to me, not to other people.

Just adding my voice to the many above... Custom avatars would be beneficial in the multiple uses I have for Chrome profiles.

[Comment Deleted]

[Comment Deleted]

Custom avatars would be a great feature.

Custom avatar support would be really nice.

I'm surprised this isn't already possible to do!

in my opinion, the image shown for the user, would idealy be the profile image of the account that is logged in at the moment. i can imagine that would bring up some additional issues when logged in twice via different chrome users, but you guys are smart enough to solve that problem :-)

The limited icon set is problematic in a multi-user environment where certain icons have already been taken.  You can't quickly see who's account you are accessing because the icons don't indicate correctly which profile it is - you can make a guess between a few people, but you still need to check which account that uses that particular profile is really logged in.  This is a huge nuisance, wastes time, and has left my boss using 3 browsers for different functions, as she is unable to differentiate between 3 different chrome windows.

Chromium remembers passwords and bookmarks.  How hard can it be to add a small icon to that sync list?  The icon currently chosen by the user DOES sync.  The code is already implemented.  It's just allowing for the selection of a different icon that's missing.

Custom avatars would be a welcomed addition to Chrome.

This would be a welcomed feature in a corporate environment.

This would really help.

After all these people have voted for this issue, Google still haven;t bother to do anything after 2 years?

Get it done Google!

Chromium is founded, owned, and run by Google. Even though it's open source.

It's more a matter of prioritization than anything; it has nothing to do
with how Chromium and Chrome are structured. (Yes, Chromium is open source,
but it is largely driven by Google, and most of Chrome development is in
Chromium).

I've only just discovered the multiple user feature in Chrome and now use it extensively for testing multiple levels of administration in single Drupal install sites. It is a much more elegant solution than running multiple browsers for multiple logins. Each authorised session is sandboxed from all the other Chrome windows. (Think multiple Incognito windows).

The inbuilt avatars are kind of kooky and don't really represent how seriously good this feature is. A custom avatar upload ability would instantly solve all that.

It's probably not as simple as it sounds, why not use Gravatars? I can't believe only one other person has mentioned it.

This actually is quite simple, as long as you don't want to persist the user from device to device (which is not practical for this type of user profile anyway).  A simple edit to a config file allows you to use your own image.

I found this raised issue by searching for a solution and came across this page...

http://superuser.com/questions/413145/can-i-change-the-icon-used-to-identify-profiles-in-google-chrome-web-browser

Not only does that page link you back to here, but there are instructions on how to manually apply your own image as a user icon (see the response from mtd - 2nd answer at the time of writing).  I tried it and it does work, but the "throw away" comment about making sure the values are in alphabetical order is strangely correct (I say strangely because this is a standard data format that I have never known to require you put the keynames in alphabetical order).

To add this functionality to Chrome would be trivial at worst, and yes I am a software developer so that's an educated comment.

Re: #88:

Same reason as I mentioned in #63, Gravatar doesn't always work. For example, I have several accounts with the same Gravatar -- a picture of my face. It doesn't help. I want to use a company logo for my company account, etc. The Gravatar is for other people to distinguish me, while the Chrome profile icons are for myself to distinguish my accounts. They are different.

Chrome already has a list of icons to choose from. All we need is the ability to edit this list and add custom icons. I don't think it is very hard for Google to implement this.

so i am adding my support for this feature as i use multiple profiles. and the gaia thing is not what i want. i wish for a simple way to update my user icon on all chrome signed in products. maybe even a editor like the profile picture selector on google+.
support for animated gif would be appreciated and or animated png format for those of us who want a animated logo of our business for the office setting.

I vote to just use the google+ account profile pic. its already there, you don't need to give people some crop tool, etc. I just really hope this extremely desirable, all be it cosmetic, feature is brought to chrome soon. I FREAKING HATE THE CURRENT ICONS they make me gag. I feel like I'm stuck in windows 95 or something and clippy is going to pop-up and start suggesting clip art that matches my stylish compaq presario. UHG

re #94, see #43: Google+ profile avatars are already supported with a ONE-TIME command line option. This thread is getting really long, please read all comments before posting and do not add comments unless you have any information to add (+1, me too, WTFGOOG = just hit the Star)

Has someone tried the switch command on beta 37 yet? It doesn't work as intended for me anymore for some reason. When I click on the profile picture it shows the right image in the drop down menu but it still shows one of the default icons in the upper left hand corner. It also doesn't seem to be pulling the name from the G+ profile anymore.

re #95 - I'm having the same thing on all of my devices running beta 37.  Something there definitely killed it and I've found nothing that gets it back.

Thank you. Hopefully someone will figure out how to get it to work once
again. I just needed at least a confirmation that it wasn't something on my
end.

We're actually in the process of redesigning that avatar button and menu, and make your G+ avatar always available, which I guess is why this bug slipped off the radar. If you want to see what the new layout will look like, you can enable the "New Profile Management" flag in any of the *stable* releases, or the "New Avatar Menu" flag in your nightly Canary.

I'm sorry that this is broken in the meantime :(

No problem. I'm glad you are working on the profile images. This is
actually very good news. I hope it'll be fixed for the beta soon. Thank you
for the quick response.

Sorry for the double post. I tried the new profile management flag and I

by design? Cause if it is I don't like it.

At this point in time I can access all the profiles at the same time which
is very handy.

I tried the code on 37 beta. I removed Canary because I never use it
anymore so I'll keep in mind that the experience on there may vary.  I
apologize in advance if this isn't the right place to bring this up.

Thank you very much for Chromium.

re: #104: Just like before, you can be signed into Chrome on two different profiles, but with two different emails (so two profiles can't both be signed in with a@b.com). This hasn't changed.

I think we'd prefer if you opened a separate bug for any problems/questions you have about the new flag, as they're unrelated to this thread. Thanks!

noms@ - The "New Profile Management" flag doesn't really solve or relates to the original issue, which refers to being able to choose a *custom* image as the profile image (as opposed to the standard images that Chrome provides and/or the G+ avatar).

The thread seems to have derailed a bit, what with people discussing the use of G+ profile pics or Gravatar (both of which are lackluster substitutes for a custom profile image feature), but the original request -- i.e. the ability to supply custom images as profile images -- hasn't been addressed by anybody in the Chromium team, other than to say "it's not currently possible" or "there's a workaround for G+ profiles".

Like many people have stated in previous comments, it would be a very useful feature for people (like myself) who would like to be able to effectively identify each of my profiles simply by looking at the icon overlay (and without having to memorize which random icon of the few provided by Chrome is associated with which profile). It's a bit weird, in fact, that this wasn't the original design in the first place; it's been many years since I've seen an application that allows the use of avatars but restrict them to a few pre-installed, seemingly-random images.

[Empty comment from Monorail migration]

Eeek, there seems to be a misunderstanding. I wasn't saying this issue was fixed -- I was just answering a particular question about a workaround for the --google-profile-info flag being broken at the moment.

This issue is not fixed, but it has also not dropped off the radar. We've recently focused on redesigning the Profiles UI, because a very small number of users even knew profiles were an option in Chrome. Making them discoverable was a priority, as improving a feature very few people use is hard to get right.

This is still a feature we'd like to address, it's just a matter of finding the time to do it. I've assigned it to myself, so with a bit of luck in the next release I'll get a chance to look at it. I know this doesn't sound as promising as it should, but hopefully it's better than nothing :)

noms@ -- Yeah, sorry about that. Re-reading what I wrote I understand why you'd think I thought you were dismissing the issue as fixed, and that wasn't what I meant. I also noticed I came across a bit brusque, my apologies.

I just wanted to put the thread back on track, because many of the more recent comments were about the G+ avatar workaround, and it seemed the original request was being left on the sidelines. And I also wanted a more straightforward answer from the Chromium team (which you provided in your last comment -- thanks! :D) about whether this was being considered for a future release or not.

I vote for this.  I use this feature probably more than most.  I have 12 profiles right now.  I would love to line up the avatar to the image that relates to why i have the profile.  

[Empty comment from Monorail migration]

I would also like to vote for this - I have written several business systems that maintain user id by session cookie and therefore need separate chrome profiles per user when they share access on one PC. More meaningful icons or logotypes would improve the ease with which they can select their individual chrome icons on the taskbar / desktop.

Why is this not a thing already?

+1 why is this not a thing? I hope it's in the very next update..

Please. I want to use my company's logo for my managed account, and my social avatar for my personal user. Seems like a no brainer.

Google should allow users to choose their own custom avatar for their accounts.  So far, I only see the same lot of blank heads and a pizza, wine class, a horse!  Come on, google allow us to use a custom avatar from our Google + account.. please!

[Empty comment from Monorail migration]

It's not here yet because it's been only 3 years since it was requested. You can't have things done over night! Come on people, take it easy with this instant gratification thing.

Please add an option to allow it to use your google+ profile photo.

Using your Google+ photo is already enabled on the Dev and Beta channels, and will be coming soon at a Chrome Stable near you :)

I'm glad to see this opening up.  Unfortunately, I use the same headshot on all my accounts.  It'd be nice to be able to use a company logo or something for a business account without having to make it my G+ photo.

Progress! But I completely concur with #128 above: I use the same picture for my personal account and my work account. I need something in my browser that visually differentiates my accounts more tastefully than "spooky white head" and "spooky red head".

#128 dead on! I see this already as of a day or two ago. Win8.1 pro/64 bit Google Chrome        38.0.2125.101 (Official Build 290379) m

Same as #128 and #129, I use a professional picture for my pro account and something more relaxed for by personnal one. But I would like to use something easily recognizable like a suit and a tshirt for example. Using G+ photo does not suit me

PLEASE add this feature.  The Chrome profile system is a powerful feature, which can be used for business purposes like managing multiple projects or users.

The current avatar set does not do any justice for the profile system, they are irrelevant, serve no function in user experience, and are not quite aesthetically pleasing either. (IE: if I have a profile for a client who's web page I am developing, I would much rather see their logo so I can quickly find the profile, instead of a cat or cheeseburger...  Or if working in a team environment, actual user photos could be used, especially if there is a large number of team members to the point where current avatars are being used multiple times.)

Voted!

Very odd not to see this in place in 2014... metalpac...@gmail.com (#133 hits the nail on the head)

Just switched from being a long time Firefox advocate (due to some glitches in ver. 33.1) but VERY disappointed that Chrome does not provide a simple option of customizing and personalizing the user icon. Adding different versions of the Chrome logo/icon to the mix of options would be preferential to the silly icon options offered now..... and provide a more professional appearance.  

It will be even more useful to allow no icon at all in case of multiple users.

voted

I would be happy to see this implemented

It is odd to see my Chrome profile avatar be some 90's-era clip art image, versus my Google plus profile avatar which shows up everywhere else in Google content and ChromeOS.

ISTM we could go one of three roads here:

(1) Use the G+ APIs to fetch the avatar on Chrome sign-in (but how to keep it in sync)?  We should already have this for CrOS.
(2) Build sync integration for Plus profile data and pull the avatar from that data store.  
(3) Build an extension API and let third parties build this.  Still, I feel the out-of-box behavior should the the G+ avatar so perhaps this is not the best approach.

#141 you'll like the new chrome on it way out then. If you switch to the Dev channel you'll see.

Voted.

Profiles make my job so, so much easier. I have a personal profile, one for work, and one for each client. This means I don't have to wrestle with various account logins (Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc.) and it keeps my browsing histories and bookmarks neatly separated.

I've been using brand colors to differentiate the different profiles but being able to use logos would be so much better.


Related note: I could really use a scrolling window of icons—the default window size shows eight and I currently have 14.

With the rollout of the new profiles UI, this feature is much less priority -- the avatar button now displays a customizable name, and not a photo, which means that the photo is rarely visible.

I have several profiles, many of them with G+ and a valid avatar icon.
When i switch user in chrome, i see my G+ picture in some of them, in others i see only the old UGLY standard dumb bitmap (pizza, and so on..)

I could not unserstand why some profile can pick the image and others do not !!

Please clarify. I think the best would be to gather profile info from G+, including company description and logo image as well.

Rarely visible ???

When you switch profile, you see it.
When you save a shortcut to desktop you see it.
When you manage profiles you see it.

I've added my vote for this feature, that was working in the past, then since latest version do not sync images with G+ anymore.

How has this not been added yet! Ever since they introduced this feature first, I've been expecting a custom Icon. The provided Icons are obviously not enough and like the above comments, I too want to upload my own icon for each chrome user! Please Google, add this feature in, It doesn't need anything special... just an upload function for a custom image which will scale!

Come on Google.
And please, when synchronizing with G+ profile photo, make them round too here :)

If the stock icons had any bearing on how I'm using it, Work/Home profiles then I wouldn't complain, there are plenty of frivolous icons to mark my home profile with, but there is nothing that looks proper for a work setting

Wow this was opened Aug 1, 2011? /Daaaaang/ - It's a feature that apparently has even spanned a whole new profile architecture! :D

This is huge, and I can't believe this has not been added yet. This is crucial for my workspace because I swap users to go between personal and company use and I need to be able to easily identify my company logo among the many windows I have open.

Come on devs!

+1 again -- this would solve the issue of the TERRIBLE account button that's been added now..

700+ stars not enough to get support??

Do the google Devs even look at the issues list?!

This issue likely requires triage.  The current issue owner may be inactive (i.e. hasn't fixed an issue in the last 30 days or commented in this particular issue in the last 90 days).  Thanks for helping out!

Will this feature be developed at ANY FUCKING point?

This is unbelievable.I look at the task bar and I see a man with a blindfold and I am supposed to be reminded that that window has my work tabs on it?  And the one with the puppy is for my personal use? At least the top says "Personal" or "Work." If the task bar had a tab that said Chrome-Work Chrome-Pers, I could live with that.

come on Google... why is this so hard to implement? Just let us use the Google+ Profile Pic.
