- (2024-06-01) USER_96: Absolutely Amazing! I love this extension, and I will leave it at that. But a few suggestions would be being able to change and add Start Menu icons, and for the windows 7 theme, to only show the glowing logo and not show the light-blue glossy overlay on it. Also, support for "chrome://" urls would be greatly appreciated. But otherwise great extension!
