User reviews

Users generally praise the extension for its clean, minimalistic, and classic dark appearance that complements other system dark themes nicely. However, the most common complaint revolves around the tab design, with many finding it unattractive or hard to differentiate the active tab due to low contrast. This issue leads some users to avoid using the theme. Additionally, a few users experience difficulties restoring the previous tab appearance after uninstalling. Despite these drawbacks, many appreciate the overall comfortable and visually pleasing dark color scheme.
Pros
  • Provides a clean and classic dark theme that is visually appealing and easy on the eyes.
  • Integrates well with other dark system themes like Adwaita-Dark in XFCE4, creating a consistent dark appearance.
  • The theme uses a nice range of black and grey tones, offering comfort for users sensitive to bright screens.
  • Simple and minimalistic design appreciated by users wanting a subtle dark mode.
Cons
  • The design of the tabs is frequently criticized; users find the inactive and active tab contrast insufficient or the tab style 'funky' and unattractive.
  • Difficulty distinguishing the active tab from inactive ones due to low contrast in the upper tab area.
  • Some users are unable to revert to the previous default tab appearance after installing and removing the theme, causing residual semi-darkness.
  • The active tab sometimes has less visual emphasis than inactive tabs, which feels counterintuitive to many users.
