Whenever I click "Show/Hide top websites", it hides the top websites right after I click show. Other than that, it does everything it says it does.

Does what it says it does and very well too. Apparently a lot of the reviewers can't read and have given it low scores for not having features that were not advertised to begin with. I'd normally give it a 4 but I want to counter their ineptitude so here's a 5 instead. If I were to ask for anything, I'd like if the settings/options to only show up when the mouse cursor hovers over the icon closely. Right now, it shows up when it's anywhere on the lower half of the screen. I'd also like there to be options for clock sizes. I think it's a bit small right now. Really liking it otherwise. Dark mode is a welcome addition.

如何自动“渐变式”切换背景颜色?

Not very creative, you can't search, doesn't show normal chrome extensions, you can tell that this was little to no effort.

Loved it, do not listen to the haters. If you love pastels, and always asking what time it is this is the thing for you. <3

This is exactly what I had in mind when I searched 'pastel' into the search bar. The extension does what it says it does.It has a wide range of docile pastel colors that I enjoy minus some shades of pink which makes you appreciate more customization options. And to anybody that didn't like the extension, do you just not look at what it says or the screenshots? It's like going to a shoe store and complain there aren't any jeans you can buy.

It's cute, I like it. The colours are pretty and I particulaly like the darker pastel blues and purples the most! For those who don't know, you can add a colour too, show your top websites and this also has a dark mode. People just don't seem to know how to use it. It's grea1t

This extension is honestly amazing. It's super easy to control and the simple yet effective design is just stunning! I especially find the 'Show/hide top websites' option highly efficient. I recommend this to anyone who loves pastel and enjoys the convenience of having a customisable home page. ~ Tsuu

Love it. I read the reviews and almost didn't install but saw that everyone mostly complained about the very thing description stated: Colors and clock... lol I don't know why people are complaining when it says in the description exactly that. I can search, change the time format, time font, display or remove the clock, and show/hide top websites. It's exactly what I like. Minimal yet functional design.
