Chrome Extension: Resolution Test

Evenin,

I was just thinking about creating a background for my Twitter page when I thought it would be useful if there was a chrome extension that would resize your window to mimic different display resolutions. I did a search but I couldn't find one, so I thought I'd have a go at creating one myself.

I haven't done a lot of javascript before and its still very rusty, but if you're running chrome on the dev branch you can install the extension here.

Enjoy :)

Thank you for a great plugin. It was the first one I have installed in my brand new and shiny Chrome for linux (and it works flawlessly - the plugin and the browser itself :) ).
Is there any chance you can add "saving custom resolution" feature? Or maybe you can share the source code in some repo, so others can help in development (I would like to help, or at least try to help as i know nothing about plugin coding except it is done in JS).
Best regards

Hey Tomek, I had some probs with the commenting system but I see you now at last, thanks for the comment.

I'm glad you like the plugin! Its had a crazy response an I'm eager to get everyone's changes in so I am working on it. It would be cool to share the source but I really want to get the core features in before I do that, so I'll revisit that idea in future.

Thank You. Just what I was looking for. Most valuable.

Not sure how exactly, but the extension set the Chrome window to full screen (no borders, no tabs, no toolbar). The usual "F11 to exit full screen" prompt appears momentarily - but thje F11 key does not work.

I think I may have clicked on a resolution twice, the second time while the window was still resizing.

(Now all I have to do is figure out how to escape full screen mode w/o F11 ....)
