How to: Make a Google Notebook button for the Google Toolbar

In my previous post, I discussed making a button for the Google toolbar which links to Google Reader. In this post, I will make a similar button, but for Google Notebook.

This button is much simpler than the last one because Google Notebook doesn’t have any feeds to link to. It’s basically just a link with an image. Google Notebook DOES have a search capability, but I can’t seem to be able to implement it with this button since it’s an Ajax-y search.

Anyway, here is the finished button:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8">
<custombuttons xmlns="http://toolbar.google.com/custombuttons/">

<button>

<site>http://google.com/notebook</site>

<title>Google Notebook</title>

<description>Google Notebook</description>

<icon mode="base64" type="image/x-icon">

</custombuttons>


Again, just copy that to the text editor and save it in the corresponding folder (C:\Documents and Settings\(your username)\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Custom Buttons for Windows and /home/(your username)/.google/custombuttons for Linux).

It looks like this:
