Changing preferences in Chrome

Since Chrome's options menu is still in the works, you may need to set some preferences without using it. You'll first need to enable the dev console in IGN++. To do this, go to the extension management window, make sure developer mode is on, and then find IGN++ on the list of extensions. Under inspect active views, click the link to background.html. This opens the Developer Tools window. Open the Console if it's not already visible (there's a button on the bottom left of the screen for it). In the Console, type this:

localStorageCopy.devConsole = localStorage.devConsole = true

This sets the devConsole preference to true so you can use IGN++'s developer console. You can also change any other preference in this way. After you change the preference, refresh whatever boards page you have IGN++ running on. Then press ~ (above Tab) to open the dev console. If you want to set a preference, you can now just type something like this into the dev console:

GM_setValue("wysiwygDefault", false)

Now that's much easier than going through the background page.
