Google Chrome Extension: Compact Wikipedia Layout

I wrote another simple extension for the Chrome browser. Sometimes I have to deal with two browser windows placed side by side — with the standard MediaWiki-Laoyut this looks very messed up and is a pain to read.

The extension overwrites parts of the stylesheet and displays the content in a clean and easy readable way.

The extension is available in the Google Gallery.

Btw: I use Cinch (Mac) to easily place floating windows. Great program. Really useful!

Google Chrome Extension: Homescreen

I wrote a small and simple extension for the Google Browser Chrome.

Basically the extension overwrites the “New Tab”-Page and displays a slight homescreen with your lately closed tabs and some favorite pages.

Of course I know that there are similar extensions, that do exactly the same thing. I used to use those, but I didn’t come across a single one that had a great design.
So after stumbling about a design idea of chancellorr from deviantart I decided to write a simple extension. I redid many of his graphics (because of support for higher screen resolutions) and tweaked some things around.

 
The extension is licensed under MIT and the code is freely available at my github account.

You can install the extension from the Google Gallery.
