helps even seeing the cursor on screen not sure why this is not built into docs from the first place.

The button to toggle dark mode is far too large and hard to use. There is an option for only a black background but in that option the white part is so bright I'm glad my eyes didn't go blind. The black isn't even the night light style colour tone. There are no ads, however, and it is easy to install.

Works as desired with no ads. However, it would be better if we can customize the dark mode. Like how dark it is (black or grey or somewhere in between), the color of each buttons (some dark buttons in light mode become impossible to see in dark mode), etc.
