Update v0.0.8 (Jan 10, 2017):

  • This update prevents user selected theme color from being applied to certain elements as some theme colors do not work well with the night mode.
  • Have also added a short survey which will open when someone uninstalls the extension. Feel free to close it.

Unfortunately it didn't work. There's a black outline around my feed and profile picture but no dark mode.
