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

en 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.

en 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.

en Turning the document itself dark-mode is just inversion so not ideal, BUT making the background darker really helped my eyes and working more comfortable in low light. Thanks for making this!

en Not what I was expecting, the page is still white so it only really does half the job it's suppose to Edit: I'm a dumby, you can toggle if the page is white or not. It's really not that bad

en The left tab bar is broken, and in general the dark mode theme looks like an eye sore

en i mean, it did its job. it looks terrible though. it makes the screen darker, so it does help not burn my eyes when im typing at night, but it just looks really ugly. it made my screen not black, but like a gray, and honestly just looked like it inverted everything else since the things that were once blue looked orange. if you're looking for something that makes google docs easier on the eyes, and you dont care about how horrible it looks, then get it. otherwise i just use darkreader, which is great and neat, however it will invert the color on images.
