After a first look, it seems like this hack involves setting a custom cursor, which is defined as a canvas image that is 128 px tall. This 128px high image is mostly transparent, and has a fake "cursor" image at the top of it. The bottom of this image tracks your real cursor, and the fake cursor at the top of the image makes it seem like your real cursor is hovering over the browser chrome, when in fact it is ~128px…

On Chrome Windows 7 version I've got the window un-maximised and the pretend cursor escapes well onto the desktop and outside the bounds of the visible Chrome window itself.
