Image from store Falcon

Description from store Falcon immensely enhances the user experience on OWL. With Falcon, OWL loads over 65% faster on average. Features ------------------------------------------------------------ - Dark Mode! - Load pages without refreshing! When you navigate OWL, it will be much faster because a full refresh is not done every time you go to a new page. (This feature is disabled on Gradebook, Test/Quizzes, and Forum) - Edit course names! Especially useful when you're just starting a new semester, and you're not used to the course codes yet. - New resources page! Falcon includes a brand new resources page for browsing your courses' files. It is extremely fast. You can search for any files/folders instantly, too! - New Announcements Experience Scroll through all your announcements at once like it's your personal feed. - Powerful Falcon Editor Falcon also comes with a diagram maker/editor which you can use to design Flow charts, graphics content, and more. Each course gets its own editor so there's no compromise on your creativity! - Search and sort announcements, assignments, etc + Many more features! Of course, the features listed here are the main features you can visually interact with / see on OWL. There are many minor enhancements to OWL itself that Falcon makes that improves the user experience. One of which is a more modern and updated look without taking away from the OWL you are familiar with. ------------------------------------------------------------ Falcon is open source! https://github.com/RishabSwift/Falcon Once you install this extension, it will work on https://owl.uwo.ca
