Description

Dark mode for those long nights working on Google Docs! This extension changes the style of Google Docs to a dark theme that is easier on the eyes and looks cooler :) The dark mode and page color can be toggled from the controls on the top right of the page. 1.5.1 Update: - Controls are now draggable, no more getting in your way! - Improved visibility for top bar icons and word count window. - Striving to be a better person, each day. If you found this extension useful you can also try my extension for dark mode on google drive: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-drive-dark-mode/mhlhbpejnmlkaiaggagblklodbbldmmc Thank you kindly for all your donations <3

Using the Brave Browser. Nothing happens. You install the extension and there is no option to turn on dark mode.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS EXTENSION! for some reason after installing it started dimming the heck out of the websites I visit. Like bro I thought it's supposed to only affect Google Docs but it dims the hell out of other websites. Just wanted to get that out.

My mouse cursor does not revert back from dark mode and is now invisible on a white document. Removing this extension does not help either. This extension has permanently ruined Google Docs.

Be warned - this interferes with the normal functionality of Google Docs. After installation, this extension disabled the page navigator of online Word docs (i.e., the little bar that says you're at page 5 of 250). It became impossible for me to grab the page navigator and pull it down to quickly jump between sections of a large document. The pointer would no longer latch on to it for some reason. So now, if I want to reach page 132, I have no choice but to manually scroll ONE PAGE AT A TIME. I'd have to click Page Down over a hundred times to get to where I want to go!! At first I thought maybe the extension's icons were overlapped on the page navigator, but nope - this kept being a problem even when I moved them. As soon as I uninstalled this extension, I was able to quickly navigate my documents again. I want a dark screen, but not at the cost of existing Google Docs features. I wouldn't get this again unless this issue was fixed.

You have to go to a completely different website, and install a plugin instead of it being a setting? Billion dollar company btw...

Doesn't work for me. I'm on windows 12 with the latest version of Chrome. When I click the extension there is a slight pause but no submenu (as shown on youtube) and no on/off toggle. Disappointing, maybe there will be an update.

All it does is turn on high contrast mode for only docs

downloaded this extension. uninstalled shortly after because i didn't like it. despite me removing it, it still attempts to function on not only google docs, but any website you can think of. this isn't a huge issue, but it feels super suspicious, and is also just generally annoying. the permissions you give the extension when downloaded only apply to google docs, so why is it doing this on other websites? this issue could be because i'm using microsoft edge, but it's an issue nonetheless.

While scrolling it can cause issues like copy hidden comments into your documents. Really annoying.

Does not work on google sheets. I would accept the possible name confusion Docs the program vs Docs suite. Except search brought me here after searching for "sheets" specifically. Useless.

This litterly just inverts the colors on the doc. This addon also affects anything on the doc and inverts the color of it from pictures to highlights/text color. ratining 1 stars since the doc texniclaly is "dark mode" but am seriously unsatified with everything else.

Yet another extension that claims to make a "dark mode" but then proceeds to only change the outer UI instead of the actual document part. Oh wait, it does, it just inverts everything else so if you're using colored highlighting to keep track of things it's all messed up now. 😐
