Could you also add colors for customizable ranges (like red for 1 to 5, orange for 5-10 again or lapse) and make the numbers or icons bigger in the Today Again Count addon

  • [ Bulk image downloader ] Search for images from Google using text from the field except {{c1:}} and HTML, etc.
  • [ TodayAgainCount ] I plan to add items for visualization, but this add-on is not very popular so development priority is quite low and I develop on a whim.

This add-on is not very user friendly because I developed it for my own learning purposes. I plan to enhance the tutorials and functions to make it easier for everyone to use. (It would be ideal to be able to quickly add images and content in bulk with one click of a button during a review)
