Охрененное расширение! Еще бы добавить регулировку размера значков, количество строк/столбцов, замену значков на свои собственные (по url адресу или из файла) и скрытие подписей под значками. Ну и еще добавить изменение размеров изображения фона (растягивание, заполнение и т.п., как на рабочем столе ПК), но это уже не обязательно. И так хорошо.) Автору спасибо!!!

I switched to Launchpage from Jim Schubert's New Page Redirect. The main reason is aesthetics. There's one feature that I'd really, really like that's missing from Launchpage and similar extensions. I'd like to be able to sort the shortcuts alphabetically by name. Or possibly change their positions by drag and drop. But, apparently that's a lot to ask of an extension.
