I want to develop a chrome application, which provides a widget and should overlay the screen. The widget should be visible even if the chrome browser is minimized (similar to how chrome displays a panel at the bottom of screen on sharing a screen) . Does chrome have any api for the above requirement? I went through the chrome api's but didn't find any.

Any pointers would be really helpfull.

Tks

Posting this to chromium-apps would be better.
Generally, I think this is possible. Here is the Chrome application reference -
The APIs can be found here -
The app.window API would be useful in this context-
