en The dark mode is so perfect for doing work at night and I also just prefer dark mode in general but, like other reviews say, editing the course pictures is not working so pretty please fix this soon :)

en My review is long overdue. We all needed this. Dark mode - AMAZING! Custom themes & fonts - AMAZING! I put Reddy Kilowatt on my Curcuits II page and the Joker on my Physics page, an outlet to express my acedemic woes in a controlled setting. It can be a little confusing to get the custom course images set up, but I assure you it does work - just try another image if it doesn't work the first time. Don't get so distracted with this that you actually miss due dates (don't. ask. me. how. I. know. >_<). FYI, I had classes with this guy, and he did this all on his own without getting paid (I told him he needs a donate button). So if you like it, be sure to tell him. If you don't, just move on and keep thy comments to thy-self. I have one request; could you please make this for Firefox? I had to ditch Chrome because their stupid little Manifest V3 update just nuked all my other useful extentions (like my ad blocker). Chrome is also battery poison. Firefox is king of the hill now.

en It works I just wish it had something similar to task for canvas. Like a progress wheel, custom notifications, and weekly assignments.

en I honestly give it 5 starts for various reasons. This extension has so much potential and I can already visualize the add ons it gives to my blackboard. Unfortunetly, I can't change the pictures but it does not take away the fact that it already added color to my classes and makes me feel productive. I just wish there was the opportunity to be more flexible with adding to do lists or perhaps a pop up of certain notifications when a intructor posts. Overall, I really like this and hope this extension stays up because for the so little we can customize blackboard I rather have color than have the boring standard theme.
