2024-02-13 | Manager Abcontrol | en | I like it, helps to reduce overall brightness. On the buttons of the left command bar, texts font color doesn't change (should be white) so they basically disappear against the background. | |
2024-01-11 | Nic G | en | The contrast of the text is not good, it would work well enough if you were in a room without the lights on but otherwise not. There is also seemingly no functionality to change options whatsoever in the extension? Which would be fine if the text contrast was good enough that you could read anything in a room with the lights on. | |
2022-12-12 | Anna Brandberg | This is the only functioning dark mode extension for Planner I could find, but it's quite inconsistent and even a bit broken unfortunately — making illegible in various places. I don't know if the developer is still working on this or not, but I took the liberty of creating a few mock-ups of a more correct colour panel (based on the dark mode version of Microsoft's mobile app) in case it's helpful. I'd be more than happy to update my rating if the extension is updated. Thank you very much! ___ Mockups: - AssignedToMe - Before: https://i.gyazo.com/4787a054a0ae4e9dcd526406ade6b3eb.jpg - AssignedToMe - After: https://i.gyazo.com/9d219fd8bbca34fb54408cac6f8a4eec.jpg - AssignedToMe_Grid - Before: https://i.gyazo.com/cc11efed1df7a9f209638339177ec933.jpg - AssignedToMe_Grid - After: https://i.gyazo.com/39f2b78c35af44a063b6550853e108c3.jpg - Hub - Before: https://i.gyazo.com/75c76eda6db869b870d70b0bf87b4a70.jpg - Hub - After: https://i.gyazo.com/27a70eaae781c5304818875f61a8ae1b.jpg - Group - Before: https://i.gyazo.com/1e58f4446101837358474d855af467a3.jpg - Group - After: https://i.gyazo.com/2db01ff2d331f29e928236ebbb71b877.jpg - EditTask - Before: https://i.gyazo.com/5dcab7e8a222b95067692c80e30962df.jpg - EditTask - After: https://i.gyazo.com/27df6dc9d6d96ce4fd260dede4d42cdd.jpg | ||

2022-07-07 | Ben Malkin | I liked the other planner dark mode app better. This one is more jarring on the eyes. Edit: I stopped using Planner for a bit, but now I've started again. I really like this extension now. It's not perfect since the text in the navigation pane is almost the same color as the background, but the tasks section looks really good. | ||

2022-04-25 | Gerry Corcoran | Fantastic extension that gives the feature Microsoft won't for some reason. So much nicer to use Planner without your eyes burning. Great job! | ||

2021-10-12 | Willy Lin | Works well. Thanks! However, the color of checklist and attachment icon are too dark. Maybe you can change them to white? |
