Extension summary
Customize the look of Google Docs with a modern dark mode and a dynamic, colorful light mode.
Easily switch between dark and light mode for any document without modifying the original project. Access customization settings in the extension option menu, which can be accessed by clicking on the extension icon in the browser toolbar.
Customize the accent color using the hue slider in the options menu, which is used to set the shades of color in light mode.
With the invert option, document content (excluding some elements, such as images) will be rendered in a comfortable dark mode. By disabling the document border option, documents will blend into the background to create a seamless workspace.
To temporarily toggle dark mode on/off, click on the button in the bottom left corner of the page. Sometimes this button may block other elements, such as the word count widget. When this occurs, enable the Raise Button toggle in the options menu. This button can be hidden entirely in the options menu.
The global toggle in the options menu can be used to disable/enable the extension.
