It's a good idea but there's an issue with the black bar that contains the home button, bug submission button, and settings... It gets stuck in a particular position that blocks a bunch of my shortcuts. I've reported it through the bug submission tool but I've read that the developer working on themes instead of fixing the bug. I hope that's "new themes in addition to..." :\

Great extension. It seems a little unfinished with only a single badge available? Either way a dark theme would bring it to a 5 star.
