Nice implementation!.

You have a z-index/stacking bug though if you select todays music and hit the drop down it flys out behind the iframe.

I'm on chromium-browser 28/Mint 15.

EDIT: Also (and it's a small thing) but the horizontal center for the video is out of whack (margin on left is larger than on right).

EDIT: http://imgur.com/q6099JA 1200x1920 background bug :).

Thanks a bunch for the bug reports. Will fix them.

A good idea, but needs to be more polished. For example, since this tab will mostly be hidden away somewhere for me, I don't see why it needs to download a video. I know that there is an option to disable video, but I don't see the point of videos here in the first place.

Thanks, the point of the video is to help our brains to visualize the surroundings. Even if you look at the video for just a few seconds, the image will remain in our minds.

You can pause the video by right clicking if you want.

Two things:

1) No sound for me at all (Chrome 29.0.1547.76 on Linux/x86_64).

2) Does it really sniff the logged in Facebook user? (looking at the developer console, I can see my facebook userid scrolling down right there)

1. Will look at it 2. Possibly fb's implementation. I just use their standard like button.

http://www.calm.com/ does something similar to this.

They also have a timer feature which is useful when you need to pace yourself

Pretty nice! It would be good if we could hide the UI to simply have a nice uncluttered view of the background with the music. (with some toggle button).

Best feature request! Will put it in.
