New in 0.5: Hide emotes, grouped with hide badges for sightless users. Underline links. Contrast indicators for text and link color. Change saturation and contrast on emotes.

New in 0.4: Incremental control using sliders, more control over the use of colors including setting custom colors for background, text, and links.

New in 0.3: Fonts from Google fonts! 10 popular fonts have been pre-selected, and it is possible to use your favorite Google Font simply by typing in the name.

All options are on one page (the extension options page). After changes are made, any open Twitch stream would need to be refreshed to see these changes.
