Kevin Simon (ID: 00000096deb77568) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 07/07/2022 Normally 5/5. However a recent Google Chrome update messed it up. I wrote the developer an email a while back, that since a certain Google Chrome update the icon in the bar is not really readable anymore. It is gray with gray in gray. I can't read my glucose levels anymore, unless I open the extension. I wish he would update the extension to let us change the color of the icon and glucose level or at least fix it and change the color permanently.

Rémi GILLE (ID: 00000021d71d32ae) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 03/24/2022 That's great, but doesn't it work with a token? My nightscout is only readable, with AUTH_DEFAULT_ROLES denied. How to do in this case?
