DocsAfterDark is a powerful Chrome extension that transforms your Google Docs experience beyond the standard dark mode. With this tool, you can effortlessly switch between a sleek, modern dark mode and a vibrant, dynamic light mode without altering your original documents. Customize the look further by adjusting accent colors using a hue slider and removing document borders for a clean, seamless workspace.

Additional features include an invert option for comfortable viewing in dark mode, a toggle button to switch modes temporarily, and customization settings easily accessible from the toolbar icon. Compatible with Chromium-based browsers, DocsAfterDark enhances readability while maintaining your documents' integrity. Source code and updates are openly available on GitHub, and you can support development via Buy Me a Coffee.

Thanks!! I love you! I love being able to choose which section of the page to apply dark mode to, personally I like having the background dark and the page blank. And that is possible with this extension

Absolutely BRILLIANT. Been using this for many years and I have to say I could not be using google docs without it. Highly recommend.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

DocsAfterDark requires very minimum permissions.
