Extension summary

Velocity is a new approach to utilizing that new tab feature of yours. This extension is meant to get you what you want as quickly and efficiently as you would like. Allowing custom icon arrangements and dock placement, as well as moving around future widgets to come! Velocity will also inform you of the current weather not only in a standard icon and numeric fashion, but by animating the background to match!

Velocity will require you to create an account and sign at first, but will keep you going afterwards, This will primarily be to create a "cloud" effect when moving to other machines, This is due to the fact that google would like to charge me for such features!

Please note however that many features are yet to come, and all are subject to change. The weather animation methods are currently a bit CPU heavy, While I plan to make these as efficient as possible, they may require you to disable them to save a bit of power.

(This is an "upgrade" from the Accelerate extension).
