Summary
This chrome extension has been written to demonstrate how to execute code within the current page after a chrome extension button is pressed, as discussed in my article;
https://medium.com/p/f951315854e9
The basic premise is to parse all css stylesheet files that are linked to the current page and add a sidebar that lists all of the colors referenced within the stylesheets.
Caveats
- For demo purposes only (supporting the atricle).
- Inline colors are not displayed.
