en It does offer full screen docs, which is nice, but I really just want the normal screen, without the MEETING NOTES and EMAIL DRAFT popups, or the DOCUMENT OUTLINE pop ups, or the calendar and maps integration that you cant turn off, which this extension doesn't do.

Does exactly what it says it does, but the dark mode inverts the colors of images. If that is fixed, I'll reinstall, but until then, I prefer using the pageless option, changing the color to black and manually closing the menu.

If you have white text on the dark background in your google doc, this extension will put white background with your white text. And if you will try to switch it to "dark mode"... It will put both text and background to dark. Wow.

This extension has stopped working. I created an extension that does the same thing and adds a pomodoro timer. Check it out here: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/focus-for-google-docs/djnloioaddlnmagobbcnjpppmbelfocf P.S. I want to thank the author of this extension because I loved the extension while it worked and thought it would be worth making sure there is an up-to-date extension.
