Desktop for Chrome

A Google Chrome extension that turns the new tab page into a desktop workstation.

Install

You can install the latest published version of Desktop for Chrome from the Chrome Web Store.

To install the extension from Github,

Data sources

Current weather information is from the OpenWeatherMap API. Calendar events are from the Google Calendar API and use the Google account of whoever is currently logged into Chrome. The world map and all logos for website icons are adapted from Wikimedia Commons (except for the Google Keep logo, which was recreated on Adobe Illustrator for this project).

The HTML color picker is from jscolor.com.
