Description

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LET'S GO DARK! <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Works with Calendar's DARK MODE too! The extension AUTOMATICALLY detects dark mode and renders in a dark fashion the colours you chose! Yay! :) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Important NOTE!!! <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< If it doesn't work, before giving a low rating contact me via the Assistance Channel or via Mail: I will work with you to solve the issue! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 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, highlighting your calendar in ALL "views" of NEW Google Calendar (2018 and further)! 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. If you prefer NOT to highlight a day, simply leave it WHITE. Choose light colors also for dark mode, the extension will automatically detect DARK MODE and darken your colors (leaving black the non-highlighted 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!

Only puts a tiny strip of color at the top of the Saturday and Sunday columns. It doesn't shade the actual boxes for each Saturday and Sunday

I just can't seem to get it to work - I've changed the settings to every combination I can think of but nothing ever changes on the calendar - a complete waste of time. I really can't think what I'm doing wrong as there isn't much to configure.

Can you make something that you can highlight individual days out of a month that is not necessarily repeated, like once a week? For instance, I'd like to use this to highlight the days where I'm on my period or where I'm gonna stay in the whole day that's not necessarily a fixed date within a month. I'd also like to see it on a bird's eye view such as on the year and month scale and week scale, and then plan accordingly. Or even just to highlight the days that I'm going to be going on vacation. Just so have it, but I don't want to actually put it in as an event in my Google calendar. This is the closest thing that I've seen to my idea, but I think it would be a feasible ask. Hopefully. Thanks so much.

Used to work great, but now doesn't show up, even if I remove from Chrome and reinstall. Only shows up as a itty bitty strip of colour at the top of my Google Calendar, but not enough to highlight the weekend column by a long shot. Please fix, I want to use it again!

Really need the extension to allow us to identify weekend days. My week starts on Sunday out of preference, which makes the "weekend" colors appear on Friday and Saturday in error. While this might be applicable to users in Israel, for example, where Friday is not a workday, having the ability to indicate which dates are our personal weekend would be very useful. Would also be applicable to people who work non-traditional schedules and have their days off mid-week.

I have my week starting with Sunday. The extension colors Friday and Saturday instead of Sat/Sun.
