COLOURlovers Plus! Extension

COLOURlovers Plus! is a multi-feature extension developed with one simple objective in mind: to enhance your user experience on COLOURlovers.com.

Why? Because you're awesome, that's why.

The extension approaches its mission in two ways: modifying the existing design to better suit the way you're COLOURlovin', and adding new, extra functionality to extend the COLOURlovers experience way beyond the tab.

***

FEATURES

♥ Changes in the COLOURlovers interface, such as a navigation bar that scrolls with your window, more comfortable love notes, or direct replies on lovers' profiles.

♥ Classic ways of keeping you updated: a Google Mail Checker™-style notification and love note indicator (“label”), and the small desktop popups from instant messengers we so love (“toasts”).

♥ An options page completely integrated into Chrome's look and feel providing you with fine-grained control over the functionality you want – and the functionality you don't.

♥ Automatic synchronization of your settings via Chrome sync.

annec b (ID: 000000b9549de5a5) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/29/2014 Léger, facile, efficace !

Mandie Patterson (ID: 0000005ab1268489) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/08/2014 This = the best thing on the internet. At least if you've ever used ColourLovers (which I also recommend); it makes everything a million times easier, more fluid, & it just makes SENSE! Especially, like others mentioned, the fixed toolbar, desktop notifications, & reply box at the top of love notes. Warning: You'll never be content to use CL without it once you try it!
