Check out Chrome's documentation on Manifest Version. Find the manifest.json file in the extension's folder and add

"manifest_version": 2,

in there.

    Time ago I did a theme for Chrome using a web engine if I'm not mistaken.

    It always worked till Chrome upgraded to version 23. Now when I want to install the theme I get this error:

    Could not load extension from '/extension_path/'. The 'manifest_version' key must be present and set to 2 (without quotes). See developer.chrome.com/extensions/manifestVersion.html for details.

    I guess I have to open the manifest.json and edit the key value to 2? I really don't know, never worked with it. How can I open the manifest?

    If I have the extension installed and update to 23, it keeps working without any problem.

    They're no longer supporting manifest v1. See developer.chrome.com/extensions/… and the section below it (Changes between version 1 and 2)
