Developer modeand make sure it is on - Click
Load Unpackedand select the folder named 'Simplify Aeries' that the .zip extracted into - Finally, just press 'Select Folder' or the equivalent button for opening the folder in your browser

Instructions
| Page | Instructions |
|---|---|
 |
Open the menu on the top right of the page (labeled with your email) and select Simplify Aeries |
 |
At the top of the login pane, click the settings icon (labeled [Open Simplify Aeries Settings]) to open the new settings menu |
Login Settings
| Login Item | Function |
|---|---|
 |
This option does more or less what the title explains, it hides the name of your school district on the login page, making for a cleaner interface |
 |
Use this option only if you normally log in with a Google account . Initially, the bottom part will not show, you will have to check the box to be able to enter your email. Make sure that the box turns green after you've entered it. If the background of any of the text is blue or white, it has been autofilled, which is sadly not yet supported |
 |
The last item in this section is the login background color. Like any of the color pickers on this page, click the square to the left of the text and select a color to continue |
Dashboard Settings
| Dashboard Item | Function |
|---|---|
 |
First up in this section we have the sidebar color customizer. Click on the solid-colored boxes to either side of the gradient to bring up a color picker. Using this feature on the dashboard should un-blur the sidebar to the side, though note that this feature is still pretty buggy, as the 'blur' and 'focus' events can sometimes fire twice and mess up the display |
 |
Next up is the background image panel. It will only show if 'Use Background Image?' is checked. put an image url in the box next to the https:// placeholder. It should turn green, if not, the image could not be loaded. Note that only images that get a green background will be set as the background, otherwise the color will be used |
 |
Last but not least, we have the dashboard background color picker. Click the square on the left to select a color of your choice. Note that this section will only show if 'Use Background Image?' is unchecked |

Small Features
- Make IP address actually show well when different from last login (atm just hides when current and last are same)
- Make dropdowns either show or not show faded background, pick one for all (atm the notifications are the outlier with a bg) Fixes:
Remove transition on sub-menu enter/exit
Make Nav buttons not take up entire height when float on scroll is off
- See releases page here
- Reduced permissions load, now uses
https://*.aeries.net/*template instead of requiring*://*
- Changed info page, added refrence images, and made all versions on subpages set themselves based on the manifest
- Added tutorial for new users, cleaned up some bugs
- Note that auto-login still has to be on to be able to use the
Class ScheduleandQuick Check Gradespages
- Added a
Class Schedulepage that operates similarly to theQuick Check Gradesone, only for classes, rooms, teachers, and their emails
- Added automatic dashboard tab opening (in background) for the
quick check gradestab where needed and better error message - note that this requires that you have first opened the menu while on a tab with yourdistrict.asp.aeries.net/student in the url, or similar
- Added clarification message when no Aeries tabs are open Coming soon:
- Message for when tab is inactive/out of date, from before current version of extention. (possibly force reload them?)
- Added Quick grade check page
- Added more chrome.runtime.message calls/registered 'scrape'
- Feature needs a active aeries dashboard page open (not timed out/old)
- Grade colors now apply to all grades, not just card view for GradebookSummary.aspx page
- Grades in small tables are now also bolded + colored Coming soon:
- Colored scores for assignments?
- Custom Grade Colors now apply to all pages (that use grade elements)
- Added better logging for grade debug
- Grade colors now reload on scroll
- Removed border inconsistencies for student info subpages
- Scrollbar now properly positioned on attendance pages (overflow from table) Coming soon:
- Width matching for all elements on Student Info -> Profile page
- Added custom grade colors (not just by letter, + and - variations also diff now) Anticipated:
- Customization for grade colors
- Identified problem for '๐๐ฐ๐ถ๐ญ๐ฅ ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ต ๐ฆ๐ด๐ต๐ข๐ฃ๐ญ๐ช๐ด๐ฉ ๐ค๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ค๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ' error,
fixed
- Added switch to toggle customizations
- Added new icon and switching when the above is toggled on/off
- Rearranged code, now separate folders for js, css, etc. Bugs:
- Sub-menu enter/exit defies strict css transition rules, stays visible for at least 200ms too long
- Nav buttons take up entire height when
float on scrollis off - May throw '๐๐ฏ๐ค๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ค๐ฌ๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฏ๐ต๐ช๐ฎ๐ฆ.๐ญ๐ข๐ด๐ต๐๐ณ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ณ: ๐๐ฐ๐ถ๐ญ๐ฅ ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ต ๐ฆ๐ด๐ต๐ข๐ฃ๐ญ๐ช๐ด๐ฉ ๐ค๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ค๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐๐ฆ๐ค๐ฆ๐ช๐ท๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ฅ๐ฐ๐ฆ๐ด ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ต ๐ฆ๐น๐ช๐ด๐ต.' error, though it... does exist.
