the recommended articles box is still bright and white

Does exactly as described, changes the search window (home page) and the search results page to dark mode in Google Scholar. Can't expect it to turn the actual web page result links to dark mode too. Chrome doesn't own or control them. It's a great compliment to the dark theme function on the normal Google search page. Would be nice if there was a different choice in a dark high contrast mode though, like with the basic Google search page's two dark mode options.

It doesn't actually change the book I'm reading to dark mode; just the search menu.
