I see from previous posts mentioning updates you have been working on improving the Dark Mode implementation in certain games. I will mention that I find I tend to not use Dark Mode when playing Get on Board: New York & London because it's quite hard to tell the current route placement marker in the banner above the game board. I haven't played Get on Board: Paris & Roma with dark mode yet, but I'd guess it would have the same issue.

Hi!
Is it better for "Get on Board"?

Hello! Yes I just tried both versions of Get on Board and it's much easier to see what your next path option is, thank you!

Hello Bonjour!

Can I contribute in any way? Feature request or I could write it, a global message countdown so I know when my 120 second delay is up lol

Hello,

you can of course make a feature request (and even a pull request but I can't guarantee we will accept it ) : https://github.com/FlavienBusseuil/bga-chrome-extension

I don't really know what you mean. If the 120 seconds refers to the time allotted for a game turn, that's not always the case. Time can vary, and some games have common action phases that can last several minutes.
So in any case, if you've got a great idea, you'd better at least detail it in a nice feature request

Would it be possible to add a reset option (remove all games I've hidden) to the hidden games setting?

I've been using the hide games feature as a way to filter games since the default option on the website is somewhat lacking, the problem is when I want to unhide games I'm clicking a lot of X's (nearly 100 on several occasions).

Ok, it will be in next version

The site has been updated with a new style for the “top bar” in the games.
Expansion items no longer display well, and neither does dark mode in this bar.

Edit: I published a new version 1.11.3 to fix this, no need to apply the following css code unless you really can't bear to wait

While waiting for a fix, you can add this custom CSS code to the extension options:

#topbar.topbar_new_version #bga_extension_dark_mode_icon {
padding-top: 7px;
margin-left: 0px !important;
}

#topbar.topbar_new_version #bga_extension_dark_mode_icon:has(.fa-moon-o) {
width: 52px;
}

.darkmode .alpha-banner__gradient .topbar_left_content,
.darkmode .beta-banner__gradient .topbar_left_content,
.darkmode .private-alpha-banner__gradient .topbar_left_content {
background: var(--dark-40);
}

.darkmode .alpha-banner__gradient .topbar_left_content #tableinfos,
.darkmode .beta-banner__gradient .topbar_left_content #tableinfos,
.darkmode .private-alpha-banner__gradient .topbar_left_content #tableinfos {
color: var(--light-80) !important;
}

.darkmode #topbar.beta-banner__gradient .alpha-beta-banner__triangle-corner {
background: linear-gradient(132deg, var(--dark-40), var(--dark-40) 50%, rgba(112, 84, 35, .463) 0, rgba(112, 84, 35, 0) 62%);
}

This is a great extension but I have one suggestion: in the "Tables" tab of the extension the difference between tables where I'm expected and those where I'm not is too subtle, even with the flashing option enabled. I'd like to suggest this solution: make the entire label with inactive tables faded (40% opacity) and/or replace the green line of active tables with a red line to make it stand out more. Color #C10001 may be a good choice since it's already used by BGA for this purpose (as a round notification icon with a number).

You can see my mockup of this solution here: https://ibb.co/gZSvXwKD
(I was unable to attach it to my post because BGA says "Sorry, the board attachment quota has been reached.")

It's in Flavien's todo list to improve the UI of this tab, but as he has no time at the moment I guess I will take this task
Nice suggestion btw, I will have a look!

The extension (in Chrome) used to have a little badge with the number of games I'm expected on, but that hasn't worked for the past few weeks. Was that feature removed, or is it something that I need to do to fix?

Hello. The option used to be enabled by default, but it should now be manualy activated. You just have to activate the tracking of tables in the misc options.
