Doesn't work. Did check the 'Enable WaspLine' checkbox.

Excellent thank you - free and customisable. I find bright colours off putting so have used dark purple and dark navy. Doesn't work on every section on every page but its enough for me. Thanks

UPDATED REVIEW AS OF OCTOBER 2023: Their website no longer exists. Therefore I don't suggest installing it. I am uninstalling it myself. OLD REVIEW: Works beautifully! Some extensions are slow because they are either written poorly (the code) or they are trying to do too much. This extension is perfect. The interface is very clean. The options are direct and gives the user total control with a straightforward interface. Thank you for providing this!
