I'm currently putting together a Zen Mod for changing tab text size and I know the CSS to change the tab works, but wanted to test the preferences options and make sure they work as well. I tried copying an existing mod's folder and put my things in it, but Zen doesn't pick it up. Is there something I'm missing?
#Is there a way to sideload a Zen Mod in development before submitting it?

nvm. Figured out how to do it:
- Upload your code to your Github repository.
- Go to your profile directory (ex. ~/Library/Application Support/zen/Profiles/fdsa112a.default)
- Go to chrome/zen-themes
- Copy and paste one of the folders, and rename the UUID to something different (ex. e4faf306-61b1-4785-8678-7bdee9dc2564 becomes e4faf306-61b1-4785-8678-7bdee9dc2565)
- Add your chrome.css, readme.md, and properties.json (if you have one) to the folder.
- Go back to your profile directory and edit zen-themes.css
- Copy the JSON for one of the themes (I chose the last one in the list), add a comma after the section's curly bracket, hit enter and hit paste.
- Change the section name to match the folder you created in step 4, and add links to the files you added to Github.
When you're done it should look like the attached screenshot. Now you should be able to see your mod and test it in the Zen Mods section prior to submission.
