Google Chrome Plugins and Themes

As little screen space as chrome's bookmark bar, navigation bar, and tab bar take up, I would love for someone to make an extension to auto-hide these, and pop-up on mouse-over. Actually, if someone can make an extension to autohide even one of these, I would be thrilled.

You can do this on firefox, and I am extremely close to switching back. Please do not let me do this!

Thanks

I don't know if such can be made but you can always hide the bookmark bar using Ctrl + B and will be only shown in the new tab page. In addition you can use the bookmarks button by adding --bookmark-menu to your shortcut instead of the bar.

@dberm22; Hit F11 and it all turns into blue sky... And damned fast, too! (I quite like the little black panel which discreetly tells you that hitting F11 again will reverse the process - not that it's really needed though).

You can also map F11 to a Mouse button combination using Autohotkey (if you're not familiar with this program i could write you the script)

The best thing about Autohotkey is that your taskbar remains visible!!!
On Left+Right mouse click:

Code:

~LButton & ~RButton::
if WinActive("ahk_class Chrome_WindowImpl_0")
{
Send, {F11}
Send, {Escape}
}
return

Or on double middle button click:

Code:

~MButton::
   If (A_PriorHotKey = A_ThisHotKey and 

A_TimeSincePriorHotkey < 500) {
      if WinActive("ahk_class Chrome_WindowImpl_0")
{
Send, {F11}
}
   }
return

You name it

I'm aware of both the F11 and the bookmark-menu thing, but thats not exactly what I was looking for. Can you map F11 to a mouse gesture (or location) instead?
