When looking up weather, I get

Seems you mean to say that you couldn't find that city.

Also, why do the tile contents change when I change the theme? The google search bar changes to a time ruler depending on the theme.

Good work though!

Looks broken on Firefox, everything is blurry!

There is a tutorial modal that pops up and blurs the background. If you don’t get that for some reason, it would just be blurry. Works fine on FF for me.

Couldn't leave the tutorial, nothing was responding but a refresh did fix it!

not sure if I missed it but how do you get the animated background?

If you include a url to a gif in the background segment it will work: url( https://i.imgur.com/BkgF7ET.gif ) ^ Bit of a loud example that one I also recommend making all the tiles transparent when you have a nice background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.2)

Thanks for sharing that gif! The author has some amazing ones posted on their Twitter: https://twitter.com/AnasAbdin

The idea behind the tiles changing when you switch themes is so that you can have more distinction that just colours between themes.

For instance you might want a "focused" theme with just blank tiles and the day planner.

Or a "stocks" theme with just stock tickers and related subreddits.

This would be awesome if only Chrome allowed one to point a new tab page somewhere…

Currently my new tab page is Weboasis[0], it's pretty nifty. Has a lot of neat tools and a fully customizable RSS feed.

RIP Webby

Can't you still do that with a Chrome Extension?
