[WIP] CrOS Widgets

A project bringing Windows-like desktop experience to ChromeOS

Note: This project is still developing, it might not be stable enough

If you want to try it out...

• Clone the repository to the Linux VM:

git clone https://github.com/noimzip/CrOS-Widgets.git

• Using the installer and startup file:

cd CrOS-Widgets
sh installer.sh
sh startup.sh

• Create a new virtual desktop, drag the overlay window into it
• Sideload the integration extension (located in /chrome_extension) (see here for a detailed instructions)
• Switch to the virtual desktop created previously and try it out

How it works?

• A transparent overlay created using Electron, with shortcuts and widgets on top
• Communicate with the integration extension in order to launch built-in apps (like Files and Settings)
• WIP...
