1) Installation

2) (sort of) hidden features

3) Planned or being worked on

4) Known bugs

Installation

If you are using Chrome or Opera, go to settings and click "Load unpacked Extension". Select the Folder 'homeProjectCSS/custom_new_tab/1/'.

Opening a new tab you need to enter the path to the startpages .html file on your local drive. Click "Set as startpage" and you're good to go!

Notice: Very strict Ad-Blockers will mess things up a bit, so make sure to whitelist cosmetic filtering and Javascript. The startpage sould be working without the extension, bugfixes coming in the future bc I'm busy af at the moment

(sort of) hidden features:

  • cycle through search engines by pressing [TAB]
  • cycle trough (visible) autocomplete suggestions with [SHIFT] + [TAB], selected will be highlighted. Next, press [ENTER] to search
  • pressing any key will focus the search bar
  • moving your mouse close to the right edge opens a sidebar with additional information and websites (settings coming soon!)
  • right-clicking any rectangle opens a specific context menu
  • left-clicking the date in the top right corner will open google calendar

Planned or being worked on:

  • Dark mde
  • Toggle autocomplete (opt-out)
  • custom background
  • userfriendly settings with more degrees of freedom (colors, pages, background, custom links in dropdown menu, search engines maybe, ...)
  • ability to view and edit autocomplete suggestions
  • improvements in folder structure
  • bugfixes and performance improvements

Known bugs:

  • portrait mode animation not adapted (low priority)
  • weather display: circles overlap when close to 100%
  • not working on safari
  • time bar transition from 23:59 to 00:00 not working correctly [FIXED]
