Artem Luzik (ID: 0000009e26bb68e4) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 09/17/2023 It looks AMAZING. But "most visited websites"? Really? Without custom shortcuts, it's pretty pointless...

K (ID: 000000b4aa2e633a) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 06/20/2023 Really awesome and I LOVED how you can choose your own image instead of only having the pre-existing 2 but my issue is that I have 2 monitors and no matter what I tried to do it only changed one wallpaper and it's the smaller monitor off to the side. (And no offense but the bright pink doesn't look well, especially with the blue and the lonely statue.)
