You can use this module to create, modify, and rearrange windows in the browser. </p> <img src="images/windows.png" width="256" height="76" alt="Two windows, each with one tab"> <h2 id="manifest">Manifest</h2> <p> To use the windows API, you must declare the "tabs" permission in <a href="manifest.html">manifest.json</a>. (No, that isn't a typo — the window and tabs modules interact so closely we decided to just share one permission between them.) For example: </p> <pre>{ "name": "My extension", ... <b>"permissions": ["tabs"]</b>, ... }</pre> <h2 id="current-window">The current window</h2> <p>Many functions in the extension system take an optional <var>windowId</var> parameter, which defaults to the current window. </p> <p>The <em>current window</em> is the window that contains the code that is currently executing. It's important to realize that this can be different from the topmost or focused window. </p> <p>For example, say an extension creates a few tabs or windows from a single HTML file, and that the HTML file contains a call to <a href="tabs.html#method-getSelected">chrome.tabs.getSelected</a>. The current window is the window that contains the page that made the call, no matter what the topmost window is. </p> <p>In the case of the <a href="background_pages.html">background page</a>, the value of the current window falls back to the last active window. Under some circumstances, there may be no current window for background pages. </p> <h2 id="examples"> Examples </h2> <p> You can find simple examples of using the windows module in the <a href="http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/trunk/src/chrome/common/extensions/docs/examples/api/windows/">examples/api/windows</a> directory. Another example is in the <a href="http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/trunk/src/chrome/common/extensions/docs/examples/api/tabs/inspector/tabs_api.html?content-type=text/plain">tabs_api.html</a> file of the <a href="http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/trunk/src/chrome/common/extensions/docs/examples/api/tabs/inspector/">inspector</a> example.
