UPATE: Coming back because I had this feeling, this energy that wouldn't stop bothering me to come see the new updates. So after reinstalling this and see the updates, yes, color text now works correctly as well as text resizing. Background color now changes when selecting them. I'm still going to uninstall this tool because my 1st problem still stands, but it seems that's not the fault of the dev but the way Microsoft set up sidebar apps. I don't think the devs can change that. A part of me still wants to keeps this at 2 stars because that "feeling" I got was very persistent. || OLD: Didn't work exactly how I was hoping it would. I didn't think it would take over the sidebar completely. I thought I would be able to add it to the side with the other icons so I can easily switch between things. But it's just its own thing which isn't helpful for me.

UPDATE 7 June 2024: I assisted the user on my support email. That in resolving the background and text issues they experienced when switching between Light/Dark mode. However, as a browser extension developer, I must inform you that there is no API available to show the Microsoft Edge default sidebar on the right side. This is an API limitation of Microsoft Edge. Hi Mimi, Sorry you have had this bad experience. And that is why you rated 2 star review. The Edge extension can not add the icon in the Microsoft Edge right sidebar. That is a limit set by Microsoft. However, you can show/hide the Note Sidebar very easily with the pinned icon Note Sidebar in the toolbar (right of the address bar). For the dark mode issue, please check you are using the latest Note Sidebar browser extension. That fixed this issue. Do not use this review as a support forum. Please if you need any help, do not hesitate to contact me at https://www.stefanvd.net/support I am happy to help you. Thanks,
