- (2025-03-27) Shaun Blijstra: I was looking for a way to have Calender only show my working hours, but that's not possible. This extension provides a great alternative: you 'grey' out your non working hours. This makes it easier to check your Calendar. One suggestion: the hashed option is too thick for my liking. Perhaps add the option to choose from other thicknesses for hashed.

- (2024-12-04) Josephine Rogge: Great extension! Would love to be able to adjust the second colour as well - for dark mode it would be nice to choose a darker grey instead of the white.
- (2024-10-18) Bryan Pruett: Very basic but it does EXACTLY what it needs to. This is the best kind of extension. Solves a simple problem and doesn't try to be more or less.

- (2023-10-22) Elisha Gray: Great concept! My use case is to shade something like 11am to 4pm on a Tuesday, but the functionality doesn't allow for that. Unfortunately, doesn't work for my needs.

- (2022-12-08) Nicole Slaton: Great concept but it does not work well. I have my hours set from 8a-4p and it shades out until 9am and reshades starting at 5:30pm.. I also have no working hours entered for Sunday, shouldn't that entire day be shaded out?
