Comment #15 on issue 22099 by omattos: Implement browser action buttons
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=22099

In this proposal, why do images have to be pre-specified?

For example, an extension might want to generate an image dynamically (ie.  
like
canvas), for example a weather icon which changes continuously depending on  
cloud
cover or something.

For this use case, data: URL's should be allowed, and images shouldn't need  
to be
pre-defined.

With this, there is no need for the "badge", since that can be implemented  
by the
extension if they need it.

It might also be nice to allow icons to have transparency and allow  
multiple icons,
which would be alpha-blended together - for example consider an email icon  
which gets
a little star added when there is an email - the little star could be an  
icon by
itself that's overlayed on the original.

The extension should also be able to hide the button when it's not  
relevant, or set
the button to disabled.

drop down menus should be considered, like the existing buttons - many  
extensions may
have many functions they would like to combine into a single button.
