Hello everyone, The extensions posse would like to point out that as of today's dev channel release (2.0.180.0), extensions are starting to be a bit more useful. We can now put little bits of UI in the chrome of Chrome, and some of the APIs are starting to come together. There is still quite a ways to go, but if you're interested in building extensions for Chrome, this might be a good time to start taking a look. There are some docs and samples here:
<http://dev.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/extensions/howto> http://dev.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/extensions/howto http://dev.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/extensions/samples Following in what is apparently a tradition[1], one of our samples is a builtbot monitor. Here is what it looks like when it is running: [image: buildbot1.png] And when you mouseover it, it expands to give some more detail: [image: buildbot2.png] I have found this to be useful, but I mostly keep it installed for the awesome swoopy animation when you mouseover. It can't be captured in still images -- you really must install and experience it in person. *NOTE* * * If you were already playing with the extension system, there are some breaking changes in this release: * All APIs are now at "chrome.foo.bar() instead of chromium.foo.bar()". * There were many other random renames. See the latest docs which should be up to date.
