- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 16396950, 3 years agoIt mostly works great and I love that I can customize the colors however I want. However, customizing the colors occasionally causes that section to completely disappear from the settings until I reset the colors back to default, which is incredibly annoying.
Another issue is that some icons on Canvas (like the black download icon or the black hyperlink icon) don't seem to allow for customization via this extension, causing them to blend into the background if you attempt to use a dark background.Developer response
posted 3 years agoHey there, not sure if you get notifications from my replies, but I just fixed the customization issue you were talking about. Also those icons you're referring to are external images, so I cannot target them with my dark mode. Appreciate the feedback! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16789623, 3 years agoVery useful & interesting features, love the newer more customizable options
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17072626, 3 years agoWorks well and canvas is now easily not hurting my eyes because of the default light mode.

The assignment list is going to be VERY useful for me, wow. Nice one. The gradients are a nice touch too.
I'm not sure how the link preview feature works - I tried a few different kinds of pages with links without ever seeing a "show link" button appear. Maybe another extension of mine is interfering or this feature is outdated.
I can see the appeal of the GPA calculator but it's not for me. (it is by semester/quarter) My ideal Canvas extension would have a button on the grades page, to tell you which assignments you must do well on to pass the class, taking into account the weight of different assignment groups and assignments that haven't been graded yet. But that's just an ideal.
To me this extension is worth it for the assignment list alone. I have poor internet speeds where I live, so it is a chore to load Canvas pages just to check due dates.
