en | Bug seems to be fixed now - my preferred method of making messenger less blindingly bright - how this isn't a default option is beyond me |

en | Here's a fix for the white incoming message background problem: -Delete or disable this extension -Install the Stylus extension -When the Messenger website is opened, open Stylus, click "find styles", sort by installs -Choose a style - "Messenger Dark", the most popular one, works out of the box -If you want to use a style that doesn't work right now but you like it more, you can fix it yourself by editing the style - search for the line containing "chat-incoming-message-bubble-background-color" and add "!important" at the end of the line before the semicolon. The line should look like this "--chat-incoming-message-bubble-background-color: #303030!important;" -Stylus also has the advantage that you can find a style that suits you best, or if you're a power user you can modify the colors yourself to your liking |

en | please dev fix the bug. Now the chat bubbles is pitch white. For that cant real the message because the message is also in white and for that it blends in with the chat bubble. |

en | The app was great in pre-2024. Recently new changes in the app cause chat bubbles to come up white and it makes this extension unusable. 😔 |

en | I've been using it well ever since 2020. Does no longer hurts my eyes and honestly can't use messenger without this theme. But recently I've noticed that every time I apply dark theme, the background of the chats just turns into white, which eventually makes me unable to see the messages they sent me. I'm pretty sure this is a bug and I hope this to be fixed as soon as possible. |
