This package has been made to quickly get yourself up and running with making a new Google Chrome extension. The basic structure of this package is as follows:

- css/
	-- bootstrap.min (Edited, please see "important notes")
	-- custom.css (Contains small style tweaks, edit this file at your will)
- fonts/
    -- glyphicons-halflings-regular.eot
    -- glyphicons-halflings-regular.svg
    -- glyphicons-halflings-regular (TrueType font file)
    -- glyphicons-halflings-regular.woff
- img/
    -- icon16.png
    -- icon48.png
    -- icon128.png
		--- Please note, this is just a filler image for your extension.
- js/
	-- bootstrap.min
	-- jquery-2.0.3.min
- manifest.json
- popup.html
- README.md

• Please either clone this repository or download as a ZIP file.
• Extract the contents into your preferred working directory.
• Open your Google Chrome browser.
• Enter chrome://extensions/ into the address bar.
• Ensure "Developer Mode" is ticked/enabled in the top right.
• Click on "Load unpacked extension...".
• Navigate to your extracted directory, and click "OK".
• Your basic extension template should now be alongside your address bar, showing the Google Chrome logo.

Please note, the Bootstrap 3 CSS file has been modified to disable the standard responsive features Bootstrap 3 offers. Since the maximum width an extension can be is 800px (without overflow), the content and navbar are shrunk into a mobile format when the extension is below 769px. These changes disable this, to allow your extension to function properly whatever size you wish it to be.
