User reviews

I wanted an extension to create a slideshow of local images onto the new tab page and this is exactly what I needed. I also like the background sizing function. suggestion: the background swap is done through sliding, and I think it'd be better for example if there's a box beside it where the user can input the duration in seconds and set it however he likes and make the slider move on larger steps like, 0-15-30-60 and so on. suggestion 2: the max. duration is 2 hours, I wish you could increase it to 6 hours.
