Details

  • Having colors for each extensions gives a more vivid look, plus help the users quickly identify and differentiate between extensions
  • As a fallback we could provide a default icon and a background gradient
  • But extension contributors should be encouraged to add their own colors and icons
  • Current requirements
    • Icon (+name, +description)
  • Minimum requirements
    • Icon + Color || Image (we could extract the color from the image)
  • Maximum requirements
    • Icon + 2 Colors + Primary screenshot
