I'm putting a "custom CSS" box near the top of my todo list, which will allow people with some level of CSS expertise to modify Sidewise's appearance. I'll also include a few examples for the most common needs, i.e. changing the background and foreground-text colors.

This will be a lot faster to get in than a proper theming system, which is still planned but not for the near term.

Haha, thanks and I totally understand. You would probably be amazed at the amount of work that had to be done just to make Sidewise simulate a "real" sidebar. That being said, I agree it leaves a lot to be desired, and long-term I'll be looking at ways of addressing these issues (e.g. by getting the desired features added to Chrome).

This should be fixed in today's release. Can you verify?

This doesn't seem to be currently possible using the Chrome Extension API.

It is technically possible to do it on Windows by using a separate helper application that runs on Windows (outside of Chrome) and does Win32-type operations on behalf of the extension. I have done some development on just such a helper, but don't have anything finalized to share at this stage. 

> Add the ability to search ideas to see if anyone has suggested this idea.

There should be a search box on http://sidewise.userecho.com/ that provides at least decent searching capabilities across the Sidewise feature requests posted there.

> Add the ability to move tabs to new window

I'll look into adding this soon as I don't think it will take much code, especially with recent improvements to the Chrome Extension API in the area of keybindings.

Thanks for the table of keybinding suggestions. I think they would make a great default set and will probably configure the default keybindings as such.

Thanks for this - I will make sure to test this case (side-docked Windows taskbar) is corrected in my rework of Sidewise's window positioning logic.

I'm currently doing a rework of the Sidewise window-positioning logic, which (thanks to recent improvements in Chrome's API) should make this all work much more reliably and predictably.

As far as the top tabs, unfortunately Chrome provides no mechanism that I'm aware of to hide these, either via a user- or extension-initiated action.
