## Description

Dark Theme for Facebook™ is a Chrome extension that brings a customizable dark mode to facebook.com and messenger.com. Users can personalize their experience by adjusting theme settings and injecting custom CSS for enhanced styling. It offers a convenient toolbar toggle to switch the dark theme on or off anytime.

The extension also supports scheduling, allowing the dark mode to activate automatically during specified hours, such as nighttime, reducing eye strain in low light environments. This free and open-source project focuses solely on improving Facebook usage and is independent of the similarly named "Faebook.com."
