The right side of the omnibox currently shows information about the page (the lock icon, or warning icon). If we go with the approach described here it means the right side would contain both information about the page and actions that apply to the page. It seems mildly confusing to group ui

A chevron looks, uhm, too crowded especially if we just have 2 icons in that omnibox. The omnibox should only show information about that page. To implement actions for that page, should go outside the omnibox, Like how I explained here: http://i40.tinypic.com/29wtoqv.png Maybe include a chevron

How do we decide what goes in the chevron vs url bar vs page menu? In this mock, Email this page... and Print this page... look like bookmarklets, but it could just as easily be something that would be in the page menu. Should Create App Shortcut or Save Page As be in the same place as

Hi all, Thanks for all the feedback! We debated putting the bookmarklets to the left of the omnibox or consolidating them with the page menu. In the end, we decided to put them in the omnibox as (a) they apply to the current page and (b) we don't want to constantly shift the UI around for

Is the RSS icon in the screenshot there just a holdover from your doing this and the feeds discussion at the same time? I would assume yes, but I wanted to make sure that I wasn't missing something. On Tue, Dec 16, 2008 at 5:49 PM, Peter Kasting pkast...@chromium.orgwrote: On Tue, Dec 16, 2008

In one hypothetical reality, the RSS icon could be implemented as one of these super bookmarklets (as could any number of other page-state-specific notification icons). -Ben On Tue, Dec 16, 2008 at 6:04 PM, Ian Fette i...@chromium.org wrote: Is the RSS icon in the screenshot there just a

Hmm, I am with Ben on this one. How about this proposal? Same way Nick has done his interface, but without including it in the omnibar (cause its not page related) lets make another button on the toolbar to demonstrate its user related. If a user would like to show/hide that button, he could do

Just some random idea of other possibility. This random idea is that when you move your mouse over the star, a circle show up with all possibilities for the given web site. Also, if you click the star, it will just bookmark as normal. One thing forever that I will have like to be able to do will
