I can't figure out how to make this work, there's no instructions, I've installed the extension and when I open my google calendar I click on the extension and set the hours but nothing at all happens?

Great concept but it does not work well. I have my hours set from 8a-4p and it shades out until 9am and reshades starting at 5:30pm.. I also have no working hours entered for Sunday, shouldn't that entire day be shaded out?

It's great but the obvious flaw is that the shading completely shades out the grid of the non-work hours. It needs an opacity option for the shading, or the choice to leave the time grid intact, or to recolour it in the non-work period so we can use the non-work period easily too.

ok.. but still 5 days... what about part time or contract work? possibly put -- in the space so I can select which days and hours... otherwise I have to say 8am and finish at 801am
