    Default Wanted: Dashboard (vis a vis New Tab)

    Is there a plugin out there that replaces/enhances the New Tab page to all a fixed set of page links? I suppose I could create my own web page and make that the default but it won't be skinned automatically and I'm not that great at making web pages.

    I'd love an extension which:

    * Opens in place of New Tab
    * Allows specifying a list of urls to display
    * Is themed automatically like the New Tab page
    * Optionally allows a few widgets (weather, google calendar) like the Dashboard extension, but customizable and with a much better implementation
    * Includes option to quickly switch between the standard New Tab and the new Dashboard page

    Anything out there that is close to this? I wonder if I can do something like this with iGoogle if I make it my default page? Can I create links with previews in iGoogle? I think I would prefer an extension, but I'm open for any ideas...

    Enjoy the new Speed Dial for Google Chrome with a fast and intuitive design.
    Set the number of dials in the page, select your desired theme and background image.

    New Tab Extension | Dashboard
    An Extension that replaces the new tab page with a dashboard of useful gadgets.

    The dashboard contains Google Talk(Gtalk) gadget to chat with friends. a calender and clock, weather widget, a quick note taking widget and a random image display.

    Start Tile
    replace newtab page with StartTile

    I dont use any of these but you may like one of them.

    This one looks very promising. It accomplishes my primary goal of having fixed links with previews like New Tab and in place of New Tab.

    Thank you for pointing this one out.
