Thanks for the report, I just fix it, it will be in next version
Is there any custom CSS that I can put in the settings to fix this until the next version is released?

Right now I need keep clicking the meeple icon manually throughout the day to check if I'm awaited at any table.
It's already an existing feature!
You just have to activate the tracking of tables in the misc options.
You have an indicator of the number of tables where you are awaited, and you can even ask to play an audible alert.
Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for. I saw this option in the settings before but I wasn't sure what it was :)

This should work:

[style*="planetUnknown"] .desktop_version #right-side-first-part, [style*="planetUnknown"] .desktop_version.logs_on_additional_column #right-side-first-part { width: 350px!important; }

But you should have the new version in a few days

If you have any idea to make it easier to understand, I'm interessted. Don't hesitate to make suggestions
In a future version I plan to link each section to the corresponding online doc.
For this section it will be: https://en.doc.boardgamearena.com/Chrom ... n#Settings

I would change it to:
"Table status notification enabled (you appear online)"
or
"Table status notification enabled (other players see you online)"

I published a new version 1.11.4 with a few improvements that some users suggested:
- Possibility of making the news feed display only my activities (configuration in misc. parameters) => Please consider this is beta feature. I don't know if this will be retained in future versions, I have the impression that not all group messages are displayed when this is activated, whereas this was precisely what I wanted to be highlighted.
- Add a link to reset the list of hidden games.
- Important display fix for “Planet unknown”
- Some minor UI changes ...

And as with every version, the dark mode has been fixed for a few games:
- Planet Unknown
- Cuttle
- Nirds VS Gnomes

Please don't hesitate to let me know if you notice any shortcomings. For example, in this version I noticed that Planet Unknown background image was not preserved when dark mode was activated. It may be a small detail, but I want everything to be as clean as possible.

And by the way, if you'd like the extension translated into your language: it's possible! You can contact me to discuss it together... For the moment, translations are only available in French and English.

Thanks for the quick update. How long does it usually take for the new version to show in the google web store?

Also, a feature suggestion: would it be possible to add a toggle button to show/hide the in-game chat? Here is the CSS for this that I found in another post:

body.desktop_version {
#chatbar,
#chatwindowpreview_general {
display: none;
}
}

body.mobile_version {
.chatwindowtype_table {
display: none;
}
}

Most of the time it takes less than 24 hours, but sometimes several days ... if all goes well it should be good within a day.

I've already discussed it on this forum but I'll spare you the archeological research: I don't like this idea of hiding the in games chat.
I feel that if you're on a table and a player needs to tell you something they feel is important, they should be able to do so.
On the other hand, if a player annoys you, you need to have a way of blocking them, but the extension already allows you to do that ;)

I see. Actually the reason I wanted to hide the chat is because sometimes it covers game elements even if the chat is collapsed. So I need to keep scrolling down to view or click something behind the collapsed chat element and scroll up when I'm done.

Also, a question about Planet Unknown. I noticed that the fix overrides the right column width specifically in that game. Wouldn't it be better to fix the root of the cause, meaning to prevent the extension from manipulating the right column width in all games?

Yes, I did fix the root cause in the new version of the extension.
The css fix I gave you is temporary, it's not what's in the new version of the extension.
