Pity DNA Match Labelling is not available on Android, where I do most of my work these days.

Gadget,
Not sure.  I would just Google it (not use my link) and see if it works.

I just checked and it may be a Chrome thing.  Here is another link that gives more information.

Thanks, that would be good if it works  :)

I'm not all that fond of Chrome though.

I've been having a little play with the chrome DNA Match Labelling add-on.  Has anyone succeeded with changing the colours of the dots?  Logically to me I'd assign my eight GGP surnames to the dots and have them arranged in a pretty rainbow pattern, so at a glance I could see roughly how the match linked in.

I thought I had managed this by editing the underlying code (right click on dot, inspect), but as soon as I refresh the screen it reverts to how it was before.  Is it something as daft as I'm failing to see a "save" button?

I've just noticed that they've now added the shared DNA in the general listing of matches  - a great help compared with having to click on the info (i) button.

It wasn't there last night.

I just saw this as well, wasn't there this morning before I went out. Indeed a great help!
