DONATE! <<<<<<<<<<<<<< If you LIKE THIS EXTENSION, please consider a DONATION (LINK is in OPTIONS PAGE or you find it if you RIGHT CLICK over extension icon!). A coffee will be just fine! :D

Choose custom colours FOR EACH of your week's days! Those days will be coloured with your custom background colours, finally highlighting your week in ALL the "views" of the NEW version of Google Calendar web pages (2018 and further)! If you prefer NOT to highlight a day, simply leave it WHITE. At first install, you will be automatically redirected to options page, where you will have to choose your Google Calendar's page language (MANDATORY), and the colours for all your days. In OPTIONS page you can now donate me a coffee, too! :) NOTE: sometimes while working it could stop highlighting the weekend columns; in that case, try to click on an empty space on the calendar or press F5 (refresh page) and the weekend columns will be correctly light up again!

Incredible app and user support! It's simple, elegant, and flexible. I appreciate having complete control of the colors. This is an indispensable tool for anyone who needs see the day of the week as quickly as possible. I am prone to making scheduling mistake and adding custom color coding has changed my workflow completely. I am not exaggerating when I say that I can't function without this app. In addition, I really appreciate the dev's attention to detail and eagerness to address even the most minor of bugs. He responds quickly and provides clear instructions. Thanks again Riccardo! NF
