I strongly recommend this design. A wonderful plugin for customizing a boring Chrome background. With a more functional interface and extensive features. This applies in particular to the weather and the news widget.

Jenifer Peterson·2 May 2023

I am absolutely happy with this extension. A great design theme that everyone will like. Especially due to the presence of a dynamic weather widget. Very beautiful.

Bob Potts·2 May 2023

The design theme is just super. Cute clock, accurate weather forecast and always up-to-date selection of news on a single screen. Of course, it's worth a try.
