Overall pretty great. Picking colors is pretty much all I was looking for compared to other extentsions. I like the design, but is it possible to hide the date text? I would also like to hide the dots circling the edges of the clock, is this possible as well? thanks

As advertised, it is DEFINITELY MINIMAL. Only 8 preset backgrounds, but you can mess with hex if you wish. Offers analogue or digital (listed as 12h or 24h), defaults to display seconds, but has a check box to remove them. Are all these developers European or Asian? And is the convention to show PM in front instead of in back there? (Have seen this on two apps... in US we usually put the AM/PM following - no biggie, just a little disorienting). Displays date by default with no option to remove it. And my biggest pet peeves... *CAN'T SIZE OR CHANGE THE FONT*, so no accessibility built in. I can't read it easily, and really want to be able to control my font style, color and size. Sorry... continuing to look for a clock that does a bit more.
