Ok so heres the code you paste at the end of the shortcut command to get the Chrome shortcut page, and have it pinned:

-user-agent=”Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; CrOS i686 9.10; en-US) AppleWebKit/532.5 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/4.0.253.0 Safari/532.5″ -pinned-tab-count=1

The site checks your browser user agent string, so you can still use it if you add some info to the launch command. Check this link for the precise instructions http://tuxtweaks.com/2009/11/use-the-chrome-os-start-page/

Great blog, thanks a lot for all the tips

it’s so sad that they removed this! I was so excited about this at work.. and I come home to pin the page on my laptop and now it’s gone! Very angry and sad… well here’s to hoping it’ll come back soon! i’m sure you’ll let us know right? btw, you have a cool website. Been following it for a few months now! Thanks!

Doesn’t seem to be working now. On Chrome and Chromium, it just gives me a completely blank page. Not even an tag to be found.

Yeah i have to agree with that.

On the other hand its a great way of getting people familiar with the UI, honing it and fixing what doesn’t work. I guess…

Short answer is that at the moment you can’t. You have to be a Google employee to get an @google and the “to do” panel app is, seemingly, still being developed.

This is pretty cool!
One question: when I click on the to-do list icon, i am asked to log into my @google.com account, which I don’t have. How do I get one, or how do I get to log in with my gmail.com account? thanks.

Nice. On the other hand, how did you get to show only the favicons in the bookmark bar? Is it an extension, or a setting? Or simply deleting the text?:)
