Hi Megan - to check, by 'calendar' do you mean the small date picker on the side? Apologies about that, it's a known issue for some combinations of light/dark mode and types of picture, I'm hoping to have a fix ready in December.

Hi Ronnie - sorry to hear that. Most often, the issue is with finding the right URL. If it helps, there are some details at https://calendar.useit.today/help for getting the right URL from a some common sources.

been using Custom Calendar Background for YEARS; just Added to another Google-account['s Calendar] - creating a warm, welcoming Calendar-space makes my Google Calendar experience easier on the eyes, for sure: thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU Patrick :D

I prefer solid color backgrounds. Yet, any solid background color I choose appears as a gradient fading from left to right. Am I missing something? Is there any way to simply set up a solid color?

I've been using this for years now, and suddenly the background for month and week views display white (or black for dark theme) background. Is there a fix for this? Otherwise, I will have to uninstall. Thank you.

Hi Ryza, sorry about that, occasionally Google updates calendar from their end and it breaks the themes. I haven't seen it break recently myself, but will monitor it and can usually fix it within a day or two. There was a similar breakage two weeks ago - can you confirm you're on the most recent version? The settings for the extenion (i.e.: chrome://extensions/?id=jnjpdkohkdhilmcojaoidfbndcfafkli ) should list 2.0.9, but sometimes it lags behind if your browser needs updating.
