iChrome

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, internationalization support and almost complete customization.

This is the full source for iChrome except for API secrets which have been replaced with placeholders.

Style Guide

[Back To Top]

• Code is indented with 4 space tabs, never spaces
• Double quotes are always used unless the string contains double quotes, such as with HTML
• Trailing semicolons are always used
• When multiple variables are being defined at the top of a function they should generally be combined into one var statement
• Ternary operators are fine especially for string concatenation
• Performance should always be favored over readability for small snippets. i.e. $(body).append($('<div></div>').attr("data-id", id.split("-")[1])) instead of var elm = $('<div></div>'), id = id.split("-")[1]; elm.attr("data-id", id)....
