Any way to make this dark mode?

I use FVD and the two apparently don't work together. Also if it could change the new window page just till it creates the tab would be better cause I had to keep turning FVD back on by rejecting the change when flagged by the OS. Also the white window is too jarring in dark mode.

good job! The size of this extension is only 2.6k, which is one of the smallest extensions of its kind.
