Twitter Custom Color Extension

Adds the ability to make a custom color theme for Twitter.

Simply click the extension icon while you're on Twitter to reveal a color selector. Using that, you can define any color you want. Your chosen color will be applied as the accent color throughout twitter. (You may need to refresh the page for your changes to apply).

Works with light mode and both dark modes.

Why limit yourself to the 6 default options when you could instead have 16,777,216?
