Extension Usage Instructions
12/31/2012 - No longer maintained, as I have moved on to other interests. Updated so that it works with the latest version of chrome, and will continue to look at future issues, but no active development. I recommend switching to something like Awesome New Tab Page if this troubles you.
2/19/2013 - Provided a patch for tiles mysteriously vanishing. Tiles should no longer vanish in that particular way.
In short:
This extension replicates the base functionality of the new tab page in Google Chrome™, while providing a new look based off of Windows Phone 7.
What it does do:
-Provides the ability to add your favourite websites as "tiles", and sort them.
-Suggest "tiles" based off of your history
-Shows your installed Apps, just like the new tab page.
-Shows Chrome Urls, like Downloads, History, Bookmarks Manager.
-Shows your recently closed tabs, just like the new tab page.
-Allows you to change to "light" or "dark" theme, just like Windows Phone 7
-Show your Apps and recently closed tabs as tiles
What it doesn't do:
-Allow you to edit your "tiles" once you have added them, but you may remove them.
-Allow you to uninstall or reload your Extensions.
-Allow you to disable or enable your Apps.
-Use your theme background.
-Publicize your data. Ever.
