We are still trying to validate that we like this idea before spending a bunch of time perfecting the API. The best way to see the current API is to look at the samples that are checked in. Here are several: http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/trunk/src/chrome/test/data/extensions/samples/print_browser_action/ http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/trunk/src/chrome/test/data/extensions/samples/make_page_red/ http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/trunk/src/chrome/test/data/extensions/samples/make_page_red_no_icon/ Not all of this API will be working in the dev channel, since the dev channel is about a week behind trunk. > - I don't see my browser actions in the UI, has that been implemented yet?

Erik, have you thought this through yet? :) > I know I'm probably jumping the gun a little early here, but it's fun to > play with new stuff. :) Yes, it's pretty early, but we'd like feedback. If you want to see the bleeding edge, get a trunk build: http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/snapshots/chromium-rel-xp/ BTW, I should be landing badges tonight, hopefully. - a --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Chromium-extensions" group.
