1) I want to change the background color. 2) Why not show me the phonetic symbols? 3) I want to change the font and size of the pop up. THANK YOU. I REALLY LOVE THIS

"This feature is incredibly useful. I previously encountered it on my Android device, where highlighted words are automatically searched. I then sought the same functionality on my PC. Upon discovering it on the Chrome Web Store, I immediately added the extension, brimming with excitement. Diving into exploration, I was astonished by its features. It included functionalities I had been contemplating and actively searching for, or even considering developing myself – such as automatic searching of highlighted words and phrases. Most impressively, it also records the history of searched terms, however, the audio for pronunciation is not working." Thank you google.
