In the refined-hacker-news extension is there a way to disable gray bar highlight and just keep the new post (orange) highlight?

Was hopeful for this but it highlights every post with a gray bar and every new post with orange bar.

"hckr news" extension works faster (loading takes less time) and doesn't highlight all posts (the gray bar is distracting).

Also it doesn't have the refined-hacker-news limitation of resetting the highlighting after 3 days (sometimes I return to older threads later than that).

This is exactly what I'm looking for as well!

Someone please fix the "hckr news" extension, it worked great until it stopped working.

I suspect recent changes in HN ("context" links etc) broke it.

Ask HN: Chrome extension that highlights new posts on HN

I was relying on hckr news extension (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hckr-news/mnlaodleonmmfkdhfofamacceeikgecp) to get a highlight of the new posts in a thread but it has recently stopped working. I don't know why since there wasn't an update to the extension and HN doesn't seem to change.Is there another extension that is doing this?
