en Hi! I am excited about this extension, but I cannot figure out why it's not working for me. I downloaded it, added my colors, but they are not showing up on my events. What am I doing wrong?

en Love it in the PC format, but the colors don't work on the Calendar app on the pixel, so it is useless for me now. I spend half my time on the calendar app on the phone.

en I love being able to set my own colors, but this extension is making my calendar load incredibly slow.

en It is a nice concept, but even thought i select the option to save changes for "All events", it does not work and i have to manually change the color of every single event in my calendar even if it is a repeating one, and that is a lot of work i do not want to do... And also it does not sync to phone, so i just did all that for nothing.

en Hi, this is great! Exactly what I was looking for. How do I get the new color to stay on a series of the same event? Thanks!

en I tried it on my events but after a few hours it stopped working. It does show the colors are added but whenver I would pick my custom colors, it just goes back to the prepicked color by google.

en I do use Gcal some on my phone, but not the biggest deal that it does not show on mobile since I mainly use Gcal for detailed scheduling on my laptop. I do however, wish it did apply to all the events in the series. But I am so happy now to not have to 'share' colors with certain types of events as there is just not enough stock colors for all my event types and I don't want to make multiple calendars where you CAN add more colors. I am glad there are others out there that also wanted more colors!! Thanks for making it!! Oh! AND, you can even use your own hex ####! Awesome!!!
