Works good

Needs to be configurable with the level of "darkness" you want to have but otherwise works as intended. Also be careful, since this extension obviously also changes the default highlighting color (and basically every other color) in Overleaf. If you are wondering why your supposedly green text is now pink, there you have your answer. So an option to turn the dark-mode highlighting on/off would also be appreciated..
