Canvalier is a free Chrome extension designed to improve the user interface of Canvas dashboards by allowing users to customize their experience. This tool helps eliminate distractions by hiding unwanted elements such as ads and default to-do lists, making it easier to focus on essential tasks. Users can also personalize their classes with custom images and color overlays, adding a unique touch to their dashboard. The introduction of dark mode enhances usability, especially in low-light environments.

Currently in active development, Canvalier is continually receiving updates to enhance its functionality. Recent updates include a master toggle for easy control, fixes for flickering course cards, and an improved interface for selecting custom images. As open-source software, Canvalier encourages user engagement and feedback, promising further enhancements in the future.
