Put color overlay over all the web content.
Color Overlay is a filter which puts a tint on your browser viewport to make text more readable. Color and opacity are fully configurable. This could be used by people suffering by visual distortions reading the content on the normal background (Scotopic Sensitivity Syndrome). The coloured overlay can improve reading abilities of such users by reducing or eliminate perceptual processing errors.
This a new version of a popular extension. In the new release we listened to our users. So we essentially improved the user interface and added some new features, such as the possibility to save selected colours as favourites.

- Changing the colour works fine for me. I've noticed that if I switch the extension on while at Google's homepage, nothing happens until I navigate to a new webpage (or type in a search query) and then click 'on' again. Not a big problem for me, though.

- Not helpful at all. Super buggy and it lets you change the colour once but then it doesn't turn off even when you press off, DO NOT INSTALL.

- Does not work. I have SS overlay for my other devices which all work fine
- Jo Pearson
- This soft where gives the black text the same colour hue as the background you select making it just as hard to read as on white background nOverlay was the best software around I wish it gets up and running again.

- Buggy. Lets you change the colour once, but then when you try to change it or turn it off the filter remains exactly the same.
