NOT compatible with the new Gmail layout. Hopefully gets disabled before too many switches over.

Naprosto skvělé! Nově navíc ukazuje v Google Kalendáři tapetu na pozadí jako v tabletové aplikaci. I'm loving it! And now it shows wallpapers in Google Calendar, like app on tablet, this is so beautiful!!!! Best extension ever!
