Incredible app and user support! It's simple, elegant, and flexible. I appreciate having complete control of the colors. This is an indispensable tool for anyone who needs see the day of the week as quickly as possible. I am prone to making scheduling mistake and adding custom color coding has changed my workflow completely. I am not exaggerating when I say that I can't function without this app.
In addition, I really appreciate the dev's attention to detail and eagerness to address even the most minor of bugs. He responds quickly and provides clear instructions. Thanks again Riccardo!

Great extension! It stopped working once and I noticed how much I missed it. Thankfully Riccardo was really helpful and quickly updated the extension with a fix, as well as provided a workaround so I could get it working while the update didn't get pushed to me.
First donation due to an extension, this is one of those things that should be default in the calendar.
