    Hi guys,

    I recently submitted a new tool (PixelTool) to the chrome extension store. Recently whilst working closely with front-end developers, I have been looking for ways to improve how close their work is to the designs I give them. A solution I thought of was to overlay the designs straight onto their HTML. I searched for a tool and found a few. The problem was they got in the way of the interface, and injected controls directly onto the webpage. I decided the best place for this kind of tool was to sit within devtools itself, and only inject the image overlay onto the HTML.

    The tool allows a developer to overlay a visual design on to HTML and in real time adjust the opacity and positioning of the image, whilst keeping out of the way in devtools.

    I have open sourced the tool on Github, feel free to contribute: https://github.com/Swalden/PixelTool

    Let me know what you guys think, and if I can improve it at all.

    Few errors when I refresh overlay gone, changing overlay again doesn’t change.
    Idea is good..looking forward for update.
