How would I open a local html file that is located within a chrome.windows.create? also, is it possible to make the chrome.windows.create non scrollable, no toolbars, etc?

The question includes an "etc." that might mean you want no title bar for the window. If so, the answer is that it cannot be done. According to https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/windows#method-create, there is no way to eliminate the title bar (probably to prevent phishing and other fraud). This was not the answer I wanted, since I wanted to write an extension to display a tiny digital clock, but I think it is true: a tiny popup digital clock extension is impossible. An attempt to set an option called "frame" to "none" only generates an error message.

What about:

chrome.windows.create({url: "local.html", type: "popup"});

I think it should understand local path, if not then:

chrome.windows.create({url: chrome.extension.getURL("local.html"), type: "popup"});
