jeff walker (ID: 00000042799bd397) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 09/28/2016 It works well. I like how config changes happen when the page is loaded instead of having to clear the cache. But, is there a limit to the range of colors used? #00F - #00C seems good, but anything darker doesn't work. Is this intentional? It's too bright.
