Time Tab

Minimalist new tab clock, with customizable background.
What is Time Tab?
Time Tab is a Chrome extension offering a streamlined and minimalist new tab page equipped with a clock. Hailed for its customization perks, users can set optimal colors for text and background, even choosing to display their chosen image as a background. It supports custom fonts, and provides options to toggle between 12 and 24 hour time, and to show or conceal second display. As part of its latest v1.3 update, the extension now features a scaled-down settings icon, and introduces a gradual time fade-in to limit text pop-in.

Fantastic and insuperable. I will only ask if possible, to create another chrome extension with the same clock and below, the local weather conditions. This please don't modify, as-is is perfect.
