ColorfulPWA - Customize Your Web App Titlebar Color

"ColorfulPWA" is a Chrome extension that allows users to customize the titlebar color of web applications created as shortcuts. It's especially useful when a developer has not specified a color, helping users avoid unattractive defaults and better manage multiple windows. Ideal for distinguishing between different environments (DEV, TEST, PRODUCTION), the extension stores all data locally and doesn't send any information to web servers. It is open-source under AGPL-3.0, with support available on GitHub.
