Clean & minimal new tab page - a pastel background and a clock

It's just a simple new tab page. Shows a random pastel colour background with a clock in the middle of screen.

The browser button just opens a new tab, so would ideally be hidden away.

New: Dark mode button

Does what it says it does and very well too. Apparently a lot of the reviewers can't read and have given it low scores for not having features that were not advertised to begin with. I'd normally give it a 4 but I want to counter their ineptitude so here's a 5 instead.

If I were to ask for anything, I'd like if the settings/options to only show up when the mouse cursor hovers over the icon closely. Right now, it shows up when it's anywhere on the lower half of the screen. I'd also like there to be options for clock sizes. I think it's a bit small right now.

Really liking it otherwise. Dark mode is a welcome addition.

如何自动“渐变式”切换背景颜色?

Not very creative, you can't search, doesn't show normal chrome extensions, you can tell that this was little to no effort.

Very nice minimal design.
