ChromeStartPage

Custom start page and new tab page for Google Chrome.

How to add to Chrome:

• Go to chrome://extensions/ and check "Load unpacked extension". Now navigate to this folder.

• In addition, drag the newtab.html file into Chrome. Then go to chrome://settings/ and click "Open a specific page or set of pages" under "On startup". Now click "Use current pages" to set the homepage.

• Uninstallation is the reverse of installation; change your home page back and uninstall the extension.

• If you need an 'imperial' clock (12:34pm, etc) modify the last line of js/clock.js to:
  window.onload = updateClockImperial; (TODO: Find a good way to do this by locale; toLocaleString() is unreliable)

How to add to Firefox (doesn't require extension):

• Drag newtab.html into Firefox. Then go to Options and under Home Page, click "Use Current Page".

• NOTE: Firefox doesn't like gradients so the background is slightly modified from the Chrome version.

• Open a new tab and type about:config in the address bar. Search for browser.newtab.url.

• Double click on it and copy the home page url from Options into the field.

• Uninstallation is the reverse of installation; change your home page back and fix about:config.

• If you need an 'imperial' clock (12:34pm, etc) modify the last line of js/clock.js to:
  window.onload = updateClockImperial; (TODO: Find a good way to do this by locale; toLocaleString() is unreliable)
