Rainy Night - Chrome Extension for Rain Themed Splash Pages
Extension stats

Extension summary
The rain effect is live and looks very realistic.
The app pulls rainy themed images from an imgur album that I add items to (you can change it to any imgur album, however!). Each time you open a new tab, a random image from the album will load (unless you're offline where a fallback will be used).
Please submit new images for the imgur album through the issue tracker on Github!
This app is very new, and there's lots of room for improvement! I am probably going to add support for local weather on the page, and conduct an analysis on caching data for faster load upon opening a page.
Thanks for looking! :-) Check out the project on Github if you're a developer.
