5 stars cuz you're adding a basic feature Google failed to add. But it is not functional when it comes to changing the event colors. Seems like Google is going apeshit with the updates and keeps breaking your code to implement their awful "new modern look". Pls patch quick. <3 Update 17/03/2024: Just tried it again and it works as expected now. Although I wish the color of the text could be changed manually or automatically to contrast the background color cuz it's hard to read with pastel colors. Update 15/04/2024: Been using this for a while and all bright colors are practically useless because there is no dark font option. Lowering my rating to 2 stars until this major inconvenience is fixed.
