iChrome is a highly customizable, iGoogle homepage replacement extension influenced by Google Now. It includes almost 100 HD themes, over 30 widgets, support for multiple tabs, "OK Google" hotword detection and voice search and almost complete customization.
This is the full source for iChrome except for API secrets which have been replaced with empty strings (""
).
The code's somewhat messy, but I'm thinking of restructuring it using Backbone in V2.1.1 or V2.1.2. I'm also looking to add internationalization in V2.1.2, so if you'd like to translate it to a specific language please let me know.
- Time and date dependent, RSS and slideshow themes.
- New widgets: Google Keep, Drive, Now, Facebook, Google+, Twitter, YouTube, Calculator and Recently Closed
- Settings import/export/backup
- A grid based layout option
- Custom CSS support
- This will probably be a bugfix release
- Code cleanup and restructuring, most likely using Backbone.js
- Internationalization with support for (at least): Russian, German, Ukrainian, French, Spanish, Chinese and Portuguese
- A real website
- A widgets store that other developers can contribute to
- iChrome Pro:
- Shareable tabs
- Unlimited custom themes
- Unlimited syncing on iChrome servers
- Prioritized support and suggestions
- The ability to create unlimited custom dynamic themes (slideshows, time and date dependent) that are hosted on iChrome servers
- More, I'm still thinking it through
No one's really been interested yet so I haven't put much thought into it. If you'd like to contribute, please fork the repo and submit a pull request.
