I'm authoring an extension that requires centralized UI for various aspects and features. My initial thought is to put it into the background page. It's easy enough to call up a tab and set the URL to the background html page of your extension. The issue in doing that is that it appears to create a new instance of a background page and loads that....
Can I view the actual background page the extension is linked to/ communicating with? I know you can use chrome.extension.getViews() to loop through views for your extension and find the background view, but how to I send that "view" to a tab, so I can see it? If this is not possible, which I could understand it might not be since it is, by design, a BACKGROUND page - then what are my alternatives for rendering additional UI? Should I just create a new html page and package it up with my extension and then just load that into a new tab? It would require more work getting my background page to communicate with yet ANOTHER view, but it could work.
