Review summary

Users find this Edge add-on effective for darkening the Google Docs interface elements like the background, toolbars, and menus, easing eye strain during night use. However, a frequent complaint is that the extension does not affect the actual document page and text color, leaving the page white unless manually adjusted via Google Doc settings. Additionally, the dark mode toggle is often small, partly hidden, or non-functional, causing confusion. Some users have experienced issues after updates, and the inverted color filters may visually disrupt toolbar elements.
Pros
  • Works perfectly fine on Edge for the background, top bar, and side outline, providing a darker interface around the Google Docs document.
  • Helps reduce eye strain when working at night or in low-light environments.
  • Easy to activate dark mode toggle via the extension icon menu.
  • Allows manual adjustment of page color and text color through Google Docs page setup for a better dark mode experience.
  • The extension improves the UI for menus and toolbars effectively.
Cons
  • Does not darken or change the actual document page background and text color by default; the page itself remains white, which defeats the purpose of full dark mode.
  • The toggle switch for darkening the page content is often non-functional or hidden, making it unintuitive to enable full dark mode.
  • Some users report that it stopped working properly after updates; dark mode applies only to surrounding UI and not the document.
  • The UI for activating dark mode is partially visible or very small, making it difficult to use or understand.
  • The inverted filters can cause toolbar text and highlight colors to be visually confusing or harder to use.

2024-09-12 Ma***** Using it on Edge Works perfectly fine and as shown in the pictures, but only half of the settings aren't visible But I don't use those anyway, so 5/5
2024-03-26 Ce***** It only works on the background settings (the top bar, side outline etc.), but not on the document itself.
2024-03-06 Ma***** Hello developer I trust you're doing well! Currently, I'm exploring opportunities to grow my business by investing in Chrome extensions.

2024-02-29 Da***** The Chrome extension works fine. This Edge extension does not display properly, showing only a tiny segment of the mode activation menu. Though not intuitive without being able to properly see it, you can get it to work. After adding the extension, select it from the extension menu. A small, mostly-hidden mode activation menu should appear directly beneath the extension icon. The first partially visible disc is the dark mode activation toggle control. Select it to change its state. It will be white for inactive, blue for active. Ensure it is blue for dark mode.
2024-02-18 Wa***** My page is gray and my text color is still black. Looks nothing like the image on the right.
2023-08-23 Wi***** Page is still white, however, installing the version from the Chrome Web Store (which is newer) allows the page to turn black. However, in that version, the math equation selection menu is nearly impossible to read.
2022-08-13 Fl***** Page button doesn't work. Still stays white.
2022-07-02 Ha***** I really wish this app would be fixed because when I first downloaded it, it worked perfectly. The background went dark as well as the page. Then suddenly one day the page button stopped working and would no longer turn dark. If the page button is fixed, then I would give this app 5 stars for google docs.
2022-06-09 Mo***** Page Color doesn't work.
