## Description

Prettier Lichess is a Chrome extension that transforms the popular chess platform Lichess into a more visually appealing and customizable experience. While Lichess offers free chess gameplay and multiple features, its original design can feel outdated and less engaging. This extension updates the interface to be more readable, discoverable, and modern for 2021 and beyond.

Users can personalize the site's color scheme easily through the extension, tailoring their chess experience to their preferences. Additionally, exporting and importing color schemes is supported by downloading a JSON file that can be edited with basic text editors like Notepad or TextEdit. This ensures flexibility and ease of use for enhancing the platform's aesthetics without compromising functionality.
