Sounds cool! But to @code-alt’s point, you are making it open source as it is all client side.

I updated description. Did you try it out? What’s your feedback in general?

Instead of completley hiding the BLM banner I suggest you slide it out using jquery if the user hovers for more than 10 seconds at the top. Or you can show it after more than 1 minute of inactivity.

I recommend you add a close button instead of removing it, since it was put there for a reason. Removing it is actually quite disrespectful and goes against the whole, don’t keep quiet and fight racism. I’m quite confused as to why you would want to remove a message that matters. It’s just quite offensive.

It’s easier to remove it than actually put a close button, but yeah I agree with you.

FYI, there’s already a browser extension made by @avigoldman, see Browser extension - Glitch superpowers for your browser 🎏 but I kinda like the theme option.

And why don’t you add it to the Chrome Web Store so that it’ll be easier to install the extension.

He needs to have a Google dev account, it needs a payment.

I would definitely add to that store, and I wouldn’t require you go through that installation pain, but unfortunately the dev account registration costs :confused:

RoadMap

Phase 1 (this week)

  • Instead of auto-removing BLM banner, I will add close button to dismiss it. [*]
  • Add “character count” and “lines count” feature [*]

Phase 2 (next week)

  • Option to modify border colors using CustomTheme.
  • More custom theme options

Phase 3 (after another week)

  • Option to change indent [2, 4, 6]
  • Saving multiple themes, so you can switch between them easily
  • More options to modify Glitch workspace

Please note that they can be released quicker and I may add more to road map.

Maybe add the option to put a picture in the background ?
