GcalColor Extension

In the old (pre-2018) Google Calendar, the names of events were shown in different colors. Google changed it to show the names in black, with just a colored dot to the left of the name to show the event's color. This extension changes the text color back to the event's color, and hides the dots. Events take up slightly less space without the dots.

TO CLARIFY, this extension does NOT add new colors, nor does it provide a new way to choose colors. That function is already built into Google Calendar: (1) Each of your calendars has a default color; that calendar's events are shown in that color unless changed. You can change a calendar's color in the Settings. (2) When creating or editing an event, there's a dot that shows the event's color; click the dot to change the color.

Open source, hosted on GitHub. If you have any problems or requests, the best thing is to file an issue there. Or fix it yourself and submit a pull request! https://github.com/adelespinasse/gcalcolor

Kayla Levelius (ID: 0000006b3f6f6b9e) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 09/22/2023 I don't get it. I saw nothing to add custom colors.... and the details literally don't say how to use this. There is NO WHERE to add new or custom colors.

Cheri Morgan (ID: 0000002b3102c2fe) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 12/31/2022 it has changed the name to the color instead of just a colored dot (THANK YOU!) however, I cannot find any additional colors. What am I doing wrong? No + sign or new colors on list thanks!

Shafiq Mumani (ID: 000000918bf7000f) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 10/07/2021 I've added the extension but when I go into adding an event, I don't see additional colors. I restarted Chrome but that did not help either. How can I add colors?

Brittany Tersigni (ID: 000000398a861a8c) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 05/14/2021 This is great; however, I accidentally deleted the extension and when I added it back again it didn't work. Now I don't get the "+" to add new colours. Anyone else experience this / how do I fix this?
