Dark mode for Google™ docs

Enable dark mode on Google Docs to reduce eye strain while working on your documents.

What is Dark mode for Google™ docs?
Dark Mode for Google™ docs is a Chrome extension that allows users to enable a dark mode on Google Docs. Suited for those who spend long hours working on documents, this tool transforms the standard bright white background to a darker theme, reducing the amount of blue light emission from the screen. In turn, this minimizes eye strain, enhances comfort while working in low light and allows users to maintain their focus for longer periods. Despite the color transformation, the format and appearance of the documents remain unaffected.

all it really does is invert the colors if you have both modes on so the icons are a bit hard to see clearly, but, in all honesty, i'd rather deal with that than deal with being blinding by the white of docs on my pc. i don't know why google has a dark mode for mobile docs and not pc, but this extension makes it so much better. i'd give five stars if it wasn't for the appearance of the icons, but i'm happy with it either way!

Very nice to finally have. However, it doesn't apply to the Heading List on the side. So, if you need to bounce between Headlines a bunch, you'll have to deal with a big white brick on the side of the screen, stabbing your eyes.
