What is Beautify for Trello?

'Beautify for Trello' is a Chrome extension designed to enhance your Trello experience. It allows users to customize their Trello boards by changing header and board colors, uploading personal background images, and providing usability toggles for easier reading. The extension also includes card coloring based on labels and usability options such as 'shadow mode'. Although it aligns with Trello’s existing menu style, the extension does not have any official affiliation with Trello or FogCreek, the makers of Trello.

Really bad. Can no longer change background. UI is completely messed up. How do I uninstall this!!??

Curtis Schroeder, 2018-03-22

I'm happy to have found this plugin which really works with its background updating feature - however I rather see it as a base or beta version of something that could be a really awesome extension. In this current state, unfortunately, I still can't consider it as an alternative of the Trello Gold package's styling features. Some issues or missing features: 1. UI is not the most user-friendly - I couldn't find a way to step back after editing the background or the head strip - I need to refresh the Trello page and reopen the extension to achieve a step-back. 2. There's no way to change the "sub-header strip background". 3. There's no way to change text color - which is a real issue if I need a light, relaxing canvas for my project management. At least a light/dark version would be great. 4. Changes are applied to all the boards. That's not good. But independently of these points - great thanks for the developer, that's certainly an extension to appreciate.
