I need an extension to change background colours and this does that well without distorting other aspects of the website. I too a star off for the overlay controls on the righthand side of the screen, I know these are useful for some but they block any interactive elements under them so for me it would be very useful to be able to turn them off in some way. I use this at work and have to toggle the extension on and off when I need to perform certain tasks and simply cannot have it activated when perfom other, which is very annoying as one of the tasks I can't have it active for at all invovled a lot of reading and all the control for the website I'm is also locked on the right. If not deactive these control could there be an option to dock on the left or bottom or autohide in some way?

Thanks so much for this app! It's really helpful, simple, and so far I haven't encountered any issues with it. I was just looking for a reading blinder/ruler application, but I couldn't find any that worked except this one. I love the other features as well. For some reason, most other accessibility extensions/apps only work on certain webpages. It was as if the CSS would be edited on certain ones, and others it wouldn't work at all. So far, this app has worked on every page I have tried it on. I only wish it were easier to find these apps on Google. I wasn't able to find this app by using related keywords, so I had to keep browsing "related extensions" in order to find it. Thanks again!!
