I like all of the features, but there are parts that the dark mode don't affect properly. Some windows either the background doesn't change properly, or the text color won't change so you won't be able to read it. When that happens I just toggle dark mode off for a bit

Works good, but currently there's an issue with calculating the GPA. "NaN" Not a number is being listed and no course info is imported into GPA. I noticed that the Chrome gets regular updates (Last update 2/10/25), and didn't have this issue.
