This extension doesn't hide the sidebar by default and is therefore useless. I shouldn't have to click to hide anything then click away to write or edit. Garbage.

If you have white text on the dark background in your google doc, this extension will put white background with your white text. And if you will try to switch it to "dark mode"... It will put both text and background to dark. Wow.

Very DISTRACTING. All it does is make the menu blink. This is the most useless extension ever made.

I used to love this extension and use it almost every time I used Docs for writing. But the 2.1.1 update doesn't seem to mesh with Google Docs anymore. The view menu keeps flickering like something is trying to activate it and then no other menu or button works. I had to remove the extension to continue using Docs.

Loved it but it stopped working recently. Uninstalling and reinstalling did not help. Very frustrating--if anyone can recommend a similar extension that works, I'd love to know what it is.

Loved this extension, but it seems that a recent update made the extension completely useless! Now all it does is turn the border of my Google Docs page into the desired color, while the 11"x8" document itself stays white. When this bug is fixed, I will give this extension 5 stars again, but this bug completely ruins the whole point of it.

It does offer full screen docs, which is nice, but I really just want the normal screen, without the MEETING NOTES and EMAIL DRAFT popups, or the DOCUMENT OUTLINE pop ups, or the calendar and maps integration that you cant turn off, which this extension doesn't do.

I loved it, but recently it stopped working. Now when I have it installed on either Chrome or Firefox, it doesn't work and I can't click on any of the drop down menus. I think the new updates on Docs broke this.

The title says it for Docs and Slides. It did not work in Slides for me...it just gave me a screen with a video showing how to use it with Docs and a link to add it (which it was already added.). It would be nice if it removed the filmstrip and hid the controls.

Great idea, but it's now broken. It doesn't hide the right-hand sidebar or the new widget to show or hide the Outline. Needs an update.

Does exactly what it says it does, but the dark mode inverts the colors of images. If that is fixed, I'll reinstall, but until then, I prefer using the pageless option, changing the color to black and manually closing the menu.

I really liked this extension for a while, but then it stopped working. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it, but now it just doesn't work. When I click on the icon is the corner, it just does this weird thing where the 'view' button on Docs flashes as if i was clicking on it, yet the menu to open focus mode never comes up. Is there a way I can fix this? I found focus mode really helpful and would like to be able to use it again.

I dont know how to change the color of the page, that is the most important feature this extension should have and it has proven to be impossible. Whenever I click on the extensions icon on chrome, the "options" selection is disabled I cannot change the color of the page in any way possible, please fix this.
