Summary

12/31/2012 - No longer maintained, as I have moved on to other interests. Updated so that it works with the latest version of chrome, and will continue to look at future issues, but no active development. I recommend switching to something like Awesome New Tab Page if this troubles you.

2/19/2013 - Provided a patch for tiles mysteriously vanishing. Tiles should no longer vanish in that particular way.

In short: This extension replicates the base functionality of the new tab page in Google Chrome™, while providing a new look based off of Windows Phone 7.

What it does do: -Provides the ability to add your favourite websites as "tiles", and sort them. -Suggest "tiles" based off of your history -Shows your installed Apps, just like the new tab page. -Shows Chrome Urls, like Downloads, History, Bookmarks Manager. -Shows your recently closed tabs, just like the new tab page. -Allows you to change to "light" or "dark" theme, just like Windows Phone 7 -Show your Apps and recently closed tabs as tiles
