Extension summary

Brightened the Forward/Back/Refresh & other control icons.

Microsoft Edge: Unfortunately, the layout between Chrome and Microsoft Edge browsers is different. As this is the Chrome store, my primary focus is ensuring that my themes display as I intend them to in Chrome.

I will see about creating Edge specific versions.

Themes created/fixed on my own time mean that I get to make them how I want on my own timeline...unless someone wants to pay me. :)

Themes are no longer supported in Incognito/InPrivate mode in Chromium based browsers (Edge, Chrome, Brave, Opera, and others).

Google has forced a standard Incognito theme across the board, which is why they all have the same grey theme.

Love it. Another user reviewer mentioned that not all websites were dark, you can fix this by placing chrome://flags in your address bar, and then enable "Auto Dark Mode for Web Contents."

Super nice dark theme. If there would be the possibility to also "darken" the chrome web store website and some other websites which remain "white"/not dark, would be the super-top!
