(ID: ) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 09/16/2018 This is fantastic! :D (Almost) exactly was I was looking for! (see below) I love the tab icons - they make it so much easier to confidently give a title to a window. Even the icon for the extension itself is attractive enough that I don't feel compelled to hide it within the Chrome Menu. :) My one wish... my one NEED-to-have... would be that I could switch windows and/or jump to tabs from *within* the extension... perhaps via the window's title or the tab's icon. That would be a productivity game-changer and really make this extension stand out from others. Other NICE-to-haves I can think think of might include: - Window titles visible somewhere without having to open extension - Keyboard hotkey option to for opening extension... and perhaps keyboard navigation of the extension for that matter! (i.e. hotkey to load extension, arrow keys to navigate, return to edit... etc.) - Maybe a "dark" theme option? Seriously though, if you can add the ability to jump to windows/tabs from within the extension, this would be a MUST-ADD to Chrome for a LOT of people... in my opinion. Hope this is helpful! Great job :)
