UI Fixes to Dino
Fixed some UI issues in Dino. Dino is a Chrome extension designed to make the web more accessible to people with dyslexia and colour blindness.
The problem UI Fixes to Dino solves
Made the icon of the extension clear by cropping the text. This make it more recognisable in the toolbar.
Added missing icons of various resolutions as suggest by the official manifest v3 specifications.
Added a label to the theme switching slider (internally a HTML checkbox), to indicate its purpose.
Challenges I ran into
I learnt to understand how an extension works by contributing to this project.
I was also unaware how to resolve merge conflicts and successfully handled the issue using git in the command line. The built in tools provided in visual studio code (git extension) helped me select the changes to apply to the conflicts in my file.
Learnt to use branches in git/github, when I couldnt merge my contributions as it was conflicting with an updated upstream.
