User reviews

I like it so far! But I have 2 issues 1. Looks like 24 hours format doesn't work 2. Bookmarks is not showing (I use the settings to show bookmarks only in new tab) Would be great if you could fix that:)

i know it's meant to be minimalist and everything, less is more etc. but the lack of customization is a flaw to be noted. I would really love to change the background to an image without the changing colours, or change the colours that appear, as it seem to be only green/blue to purple. fonts, alignments and other basic settings should be added. :)
