en Best extension that isn't a copy of others, dose what it says it will do but it would be nice if it worked on other sits like Google classroom.

en Only changes the background AROUND the document to a medium grey. The document itself stays as black text on a white background. Fail.

en This is just what I'm looking for! However, I had to knock off a star because some of the menus have the original font color resulting in black-on-dark-gray. Fix that, and I'll bump it up to 5 stars
