I have already made an extension for Chrome, but the problem is that Google asks me to pay 5 euros or something to publish it. They don't accept PayPal. If I find any way to make that pesky payment - I'll publish my extension to Chrome Web Store too.

You don't have to publish it on the webstore - just give us the download link, then we can install it manually

Installing Chrome extensions manually is a pain in the neck, you will also have to download all the updates yourself.

Talking about Opera extensions - if I have any time, I'll add a button which opens a menu where you can turn it on/off and change background to custom one. About Firefox, you gave me a simple compiler - are there any good instructions? Like how to integrate a button into Firefox bar, how extensions are packed, stuff like that. I searched but could not find anything - Opera seems to be more friendly to developers
You are wrong in that sense. Because there is a quite well known Mozilla Developer Network out there which also has developers and a knowledge base around their DOM and so forth. Also information on how to write extensions for Mozilla Firefox, although I've never done things like that I am though willing to try as it seems quite easy. It's all just about the right keyword in Google user SD.

This could get you started on how XUL work.

Overlay Basics

Mozilla's user interface is written primarily in XUL and JavaScript. The innovative feature that XUL provides that makes extensions work is "overlays". A XUL overlay allows adding new UI elements into an existing XUL window without having to modify the original's code.

It's essentially the same as Opera's way of writing extensions but with some slight differences.
If I were you I would use the JQuery approach on writing this extension as it simplifies things.

Reviving this thread as I really want this for Google Chrome.
I don't think it's hard to make a .crx file for it, and it's now so easy to manually install Chrome extensions outside of the app store (you just drag a drop the CRX file to Chrome and it's installed).
I tried downloading the Opera extension, renaming it to .crx and installing on Chrome, but that didn't work, so I'm asking if someone could convert this extension properly for Chrome.

I'm already converting it for new Opera. Don't know about Chrome though.

You mean Opera Next? Because apparently you can easily convert Opera Next addons to Chrome and vice-versa.

--- Edit ---
I decided today to transition from Chrome to Opera Next, and I don't regret it, love this browser! But I can't use this us theme though, it says it's only available to Opera 11 and 12, so I'm looking forward for you to port it to Next.
