That's what I needed! Thank you very much :) But for some reason the green square with the number 3 next to the arrow doesn't work, although the download list is cleared, it's a bit annoying(

It shows download notifications and has an optional dark mode, BUT: - when the download is complete, I only can choose between opening the folder where the file was downloaded and the deletion of the file - but not to open the file; if I click on the file extension icon on the notification, then the notification disappears and nothing happens instead of opening the file - popup window doesn't show file size and file date for completed downloads - file extension icons are shown delayed
