ya this very good extension but one issue for me also have a chopice to removve time bar option also
it was fine till a while back, but now, it does not save my settings, keeps reverting to its default settings, and there is nothing i can do
every time i close all new tabs and then open a tab, and this happens...
i really like this extension, and there are none like it, giving the option to customize background is the reason i added this extension, if there is anything i can do to fix this, please do tell me
(ps: i use brave, in case the browser is causing issues)
Good, would be perfect if there was automatic wallpaper scaling instead of just not applying wallpaper at all.
