modify chrome extension to change window size - json

There's an extension that I use that alerts me to new mails and allows me to quickly compose mails. It's fine but if I could change one thing, it would be to make the 'compose message' window bigger. It's not big enough to display the 'to: ' textbox, let alone the textbox for the body
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/multiple-account-checker/dnimhgelcnggigekhdjlifjpndgmnglm
when I click the "compose new message" button, and the "compose message" window opens, I'd like it to always be a larger size. Does that make sense?!
If anyone knows how, and can explain to a novice, I'd be very grateful. So far I've JUST managed to get kittens compiled! (http://developer.chrome.com/extensions/getstarted.html) and have many ideas I'd can't stop thinking about! thanks

VisualPing not able to spot login portion

I am trying to setup visualping for tracking changes in my college's webamail (https://webmail-sso.iitb.ac.in/?_task=mail&_mbox=INBOX) whose login page looks like this:
however, when I enter the URL in visualping (https://visualping.io/), it only captures the black background
and not the login window, that seems to be on top of this black background, I have no experience with web development, tried to inspect element but couldn't find what to do, can someone help?
I tried with changedetection.io and it was able to easily hit the login button, in the case that it cant find it, it will fallback to X,Y co-ordinates, hope it helps!

make clicking chrome notification bring chrome window to front?

Nothing seems to work. I guess it's designed this way to stop popups. But i really want to bring the chrome browser window ( say for instance behind firefox or word) to the front when the notification is clicked.
window.focus()
parent.focus()
do not work. I cant seem to find any way to actually move the chrome window to the front. Any suggestions?
Even if there was some way to make it request users permission once to do this, then do it automatically after that. I would be fine about it.

HTML + Chrome help having a form in the page space

I am trying to create a input box somewhere on the screen in chrome, not attached to extension button like a normal popup,
it also needs to be running all the time so the user doesnt need to click the extension button to open it, for example so they do not have to come out of fullscreen.
What i have so far since im not great at html or java just a simple form
What i have: http://i.imgur.com/xCY1a41.png
What i want: http://i.imgur.com/cJH8bD4.png
I would also like to control the position of the form but from what i have above doesnt seem as if i will be able,
Sorry if its a bit vague but anything helps!
What you want to do can't be done in Chrome. This is by design. If web content could display itself outside the boundaries of the browser tab's content area, then users might be confused who was presenting it. Confusion is just the beginning of that problem: if web/extension content could masquerade as a system or browser-level alert, then that content could trick the user into doing something dangerous.
If you need a presence outside of a browser tab, your options are a native app or Chrome App.
If you want the input box to be displayed on the page you could use content script - then it would appear as you presented.

chrome://newtab loads delta search

I have wasted nearly 4 hours in fixing this.
After Babylon this time it is delta-search which makes my chrome sucks on every new tab. chrome://newtab loads: http://www2.delta-search.com/?babsrc=NT_ss_SU&mntrId=786E00E04C01EE9A&affID=121564&tsp=4987
I am not able to fix this. I have already fixed homepage, search setting and other browsers. Please help me to fix this new tab issue. I want "Most visited tab" to be there when I press new tab button.
A real solution is to reset some fields in "chrome://flags". This was the way I did last time in AVG or Babylon. I have solved my problem but I wish if someone could really give exact steps so that next time if a user gets stuck he can find it here.
:p
open google chrome, type chrome://flags/ on address bar and go to hidden configuration setting.
change following part of configuration file to disable by cliking on enable..
Enable Tab Browser Dragging Windows
Enable creating a browser window when dragging tabs. #enable-tab-browser-dragging
Disable

How can I show a confirmation message (not a dialog) without an Alert?

I'm working on a project for a User Interface Design class, so the emphasis is on the UI being as nice to use and non-annoying as possible. I would like to display a message to the user after they've clicked save, for example, without requiring them to click an OK button. I'm thinking of the kind of thing you see in gmail if you send a message or do some other actions, where a message appears on the screen, but the message disappears after you do something else.
I'm sure there's a way to do this in Flex (I'm using 4.6), but I just don't know what it is. I'm pretty new to Flex and I'm having trouble finding anything via Google, because the results keep showing confirmations messages in Alerts; I don't know the search terms to get the results I'm looking for.
Anyway if anyone has ideas or links or anything, I'd really appreciate the help.
Here's a nice Toast library for flex (flex-toasterlib).
And here's a different Toast class in the adobe forums (adobe forums).
