Need more settings eg. set the visibility of the background picture etc. It is too white washed.

I love this extension. I just wish there was a way to disable certain categories. For example I personally don't care about sports or entertainment news. If I could prevent those from the new tab page that would be perfect.

Such a handy way to keep up with what's going on – I'm getting the news through osmosis!
