User reviews

Users appreciate that the Messenger - Theme Selector extension provides useful themes, especially the dark mode and hacker style that improve visual comfort and style. However, many encounter issues like the extension not working for them, limited and sometimes poorly designed themes, and UI glitches such as unreadable text or missing elements. The lack of support for custom colors per contact and inconsistent application on input fields reduce its usefulness. Overall, it enhances Messenger's look for some but needs improvements for broader functionality and customization.
Pros
  • Provides multiple themes including a popular dark mode that enhances readability and reduces eye strain.
  • The 'hacker' theme is notably liked and appreciated by users for its unique style.
  • Generally improves the visual appeal of Messenger compared to the default skin.
  • Easy to use and works well for many users, allowing some level of customization over Messenger's appearance.
Cons
  • Extension does not work properly for all users; some report it not functioning or not applying themes correctly.
  • Limited theme options with only about five themes available, with some users finding most of them poorly designed.
  • The themes do not support all UI elements consistently, such as input boxes and icons, making some text or buttons invisible or hard to see.
  • No support for custom color schemes per contact, which Messenger natively supports, limiting personalization.
  • Some glitches reported, including inconsistent layout changes, buttons not showing, and issues with certain themes breaking link previews or color displays.

Sajnos nem működik. Sadly not working anymore. :'(

Font choice sucks. There are some glitches every now and then like when someone is chatting, the part of the "three dots chatting indicator" color doesn't change.
