    GCal Pro helps you customize Google Calendar event colors beyond the default palette, making your schedule easier to scan, organize, and understand at a glance.
    
    If you rely on Google Calendar every day, limited color options can make everything blend together. GCal Pro gives you more control over event colors, so your calendar works the way you think.
    
    ✨ What you can do with GCal Pro
    	•	Add unlimited custom colors to Google Calendar events
            •       Set custom text colors for calendar events
    	•	Go beyond Google’s default color palette
    	•	Use HEX and RGB color values for precise color control
    	•	Save custom colors to your Chrome profile, so they sync automatically across your signed-in Chrome browsers
    	•	Reuse saved colors anytime without re-creating them
    	•	Edit a saved color once and automatically update all events with the same title
    	•	Improve visual clarity for work, personal time, or multiple calendars
    
    All color changes are applied directly inside Google Calendar and update instantly.
    
    ⚡ Designed to feel native
    
    GCal Pro integrates seamlessly into the Google Calendar interface. There’s no setup, no separate dashboard, and no learning curve — it simply adds more flexibility to the calendar you already use.
    
    🔒 Privacy-first
    	•	No accounts required
    	•	No tracking or analytics
    	•	No external servers
    	•	All customization happens locally in your browser
    
    Your calendar data stays private.
    
    📝 Important notes
    	•	This extension works only on the desktop web version of Google Calendar (calendar.google.com).
    	•	It does not work on the mobile version or the Google Calendar mobile apps (Android or iOS).
    
    Enhance your schedule with more custom colors, better visual organization, and full control over how your Google Calendar looks.
    
    Version 1.0.6:
    • Added new Event Text Color controls: Auto, Light, Dark, and Custom.
    
    • Added custom text color picker support in the popup.
    
    • Improved readability for dark event colors by enforcing better text visibility.
    
    • Updated saved event color editing to be direct (click edit icon and pick immediately).
    
    • Refined popup UI with clearer sectioning (Event Colors) and improved picker styling.
    
    Version 1.0.7:
    • Added smarter custom color targeting for Google Calendar events:
    This series only (recurring event instance group)
    All events (same event title across calendar)
    
    • Improved event color consistency between calendar chips and event edit/details views.
    
    • Fixed color swatch sync in event edit dialog so custom colors appear correctly.
    
    • Fixed precedence handling when both mappings exist:
    Series-specific color now correctly overrides title-wide color.
    
    • Improved scope switching behavior in color picker UI:
    Easier switching between series-only and all-events mapping.
    
    • Improved reset behavior:
    Reset from series falls back to all-events color if present, then to default.
    
    • Reworked selector logic to be more robust:
    Reduced reliance on language-dependent UI text.
    Removed brittle popup detection logic based on color name strings.
    
    • General reliability fixes for recurring events and same-title event groups.
