★ Theme background When Clear New Tab is installed and the "Theme Background" mode is chosen, backgrounds of themes that you install in the Edge Add-ons store will be automatically downloaded and appear in the new tab. If a theme background is too big or too small you can fix it (set "Background size" to "Cover the screen").

★ Your own background You can upload your own background (image, gif, video or solid color) as a background in the new tab page.

★ Cycle through different backgrounds You can make Clear New Tab cycle through your backgrounds, showing you different background every time you open a new tab.

Why icon of new tab page is a black square?
by Yunfeng, 2024-09-03

Works great and allows you to automatically switch between multiple different backgrounds. One thing that could be better is that the backgrounds which are repeated should be darker than the one in the center.
