About vToad New Tab Page - Custom Live Wallpaper Engine, and more!

🚀 IN BETA — NEW THEME COLORS, REQUESTED FEATURES, AND MORE! vToad turns your New Tab into a visual playground by letting you upload your own videos, GIFs, and images as live wallpapers. It has pleasing and satisfying UI while being customizable and made to feel personal — let the theme colors match your media automatically or set your own theme colors to make it yours! (Brave, Opera & Opera GX users — please scroll to the bottom for setup notes and Opera video guide.) I’m a solo dev who built this with love, based on feedback and feature requests from users like you. If you enjoy vToad, leaving a review or sharing it means the world. Thank you! 💚 /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 🆕 What's New in vToad 0.0.0.5 (6/21/2025) Major additions & improvements: 🐸 Image & GIF Upload Support — Not just video anymore! 🐸 Manual Background Preview — Instantly see what your tab will look like without refreshing 🐸 Auto Theme Now Supports Light or Dark Mode! 🐸 Manual Theme Upgrade — Pick a Main Color and an Accent Color 🐸 Clock Customization — Move it anywhere, resize it however you like 🐸 Search Bar Change — Now uses your browser’s default engine (due to updated Chrome extension policies) 🐸 Quality of Life Tweaks — smoother sliders, smarter auto-theme colors, updated popup 🐸 Btw I created a reddit page for any support, wallpaper resources, and for just sharing your new tabs pages!
