Extension summary

[IMPORTANT NOTICE] This extension will be removed from the store in 2023, because the extension doesn't fulfill new regulation of chrome store. I tried to fix the extension but with no luck. Sorry for your inconvinience. I would recommend "Midnight Lizard" as an alternative, which works and contains more functionality.

[for developper] If you could migrate Manifest V2 to V3 with this extension, PR me in my repository below. I will merge it and try to submit to the store. https://github.com/srndpty/Change-Colors

---- original description below ---- This is alternative for Change Colors: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/change-colors/jbmkekhehjedonbhoikhhkmlapalklgn and this is from here: https://github.com/cuongtructran/Change-Colors It works locally but it shows warning all you start chrome, which says "you are loading unpackaged extension". This is bothering. I'll delete this one if the original author revised the extension to work, or the forker upload the same thing to the store.

'Interesting' addon but configuration window forces white background with light text so unreadable unless select all & highlight first, + microscopically small color picker window that doesn't permit intuitive selection of lighter shades, + absurdly limited custom font collection, & destroys youtube functionality, hiding video preview images even when set addon 2 'allow' them =P 3 stars is generous because works on many sites, unlike lots of completely broken addons, instead of this which is only 'half broken' =)
