Chrome View Controller is a professional productivity utility designed to reconfigure Google Chrome windows into a streamlined, "chat-style" interface. It enhances multitasking efficiency by maintaining selected web windows in an elongated vertical aspect ratio, pinning them to the foreground, and docking them to the screen periphery.
| Feature | Functionality |
|---|---|
| Foreground Priority | Implements deep Windows API calls to maintain "Always on Top" status over all system applications. |
| Optimized Geometry | Automatically recalibrates window dimensions to 400x900, forcing a mobile-responsive web view. |
| Command Shortcut | Integrated Ctrl + G global hotkey to invoke the window selection menu instantly. |
| State Restoration | Automated "Clean Exit" logic that reverts all modified windows to their original dimensions and styles. |
| Background Operation | Low-overhead execution via the System Tray with zero interference to the primary workspace. |
Note
The following assets demonstrate the transformation from a standard browser tab to a docked vertical interface.
