I guess it is possible. It is hard for me to think about these things without concrete examples, though. For Cooliris, the context-dependent UI is to initiate the Cooliris viewer, right? What would the permanent action be? Configuration? A bookmark? Those don't seem like things that should have such a prominent home in the UI, ideally. - a --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Chromium-extensions" group.
