Hello AHK forums!

I am new here (but not to AHK) so hey

I am here to share with you all my latest script which brings to chrome what has always been on Firefox: To open a new tab when middle-mouse clicking the title bar

This script requires that you also download the appropriate reference "+" image for your browser and OS versions. I will provide you with both windows 7 and windows 10 reference images for FREE!

[Codebox=autohotkey file=chrome_open_tab_middleclick.ahk]
~MButton::
	ReferenceImageWidth = 18 ; The width of the reference image. Edit this if you used your own.
	TitlebarHeight = 40 ; The height of the title bar. You should adjust this if the detection seems bad when clicking
	ReferenceImageName = tab_plus.png ; The forum thread should explain how to make yours in case mine does not work

	if not WinActive("ahk_exe chrome.exe") { ; Our script only works in chrome duh!
		return
	}

	MouseGetPos, ClickX, ClickY
	if (ClickY > TitlebarHeight) {
		return ; If you clicked lower than the title bar, it's useless to continue
	}

	WinGetPos, , , ActiveWindowWidth, , A ; Get the chrome window width

	ImageSearch,ImageX,ImageY,0,0,%ActiveWindowWidth%,%TitlebarHeight%,*25 %ReferenceImageName% ; Search for the "+" reference image

	if (ErrorLevel = 0 and ClickX > (ImageX + ReferenceImageWidth)) {
		Send, ^t ; If we found the "+" and you clicked right of it, open a new tab!
	}
	return
[/Codebox]

Save one of the following and rename it as "tab_plus.png" in the folder where your .ahk is.

And that's it! Have fun  :superhappy:

[u]How to make your own reference image in case mine do not work[/u]
[spoiler]It is possible that the reference image that I provided do not work in case you have a different OS or a more recent chrome version.
It is easy to make a new one.
[list]You need to take a capture of your title bar section where the "+" is [img]https://i.imgur.com/5a7lTi8.png[/img]. [b]MAKE SURE YOUR BROWSER WINDOW IS FOCUSED WHEN DOING SO!!![/b] (else the color will not be the same!!)[/list]
[list]Crop the + out and leave out the rounded corners and background as there is transparency and will mess with ImageSearch.(take mine as an example)[/list]
[list]I try to make my reference images 18x18 pixels, if yours is larger then update the "ReferenceImageWidth" value in the script to fit yours.[/list]
