  description

  Elon Bring Back Dim Mode brings back the beloved Dim theme that was removed from X and Grok web.
  
  Tired of the harsh pure black "Lights Out" background? This extension replaces it with the original soft dark blue (#15202B) that was easier on the eyes.
  
  FEATURES
    - Restores the Dim (dark blue) background on X/Twitter
    - Restores the Dim (dark blue) background on Grok
    - Independent toggles for each site
    - Pure CSS overrides — lightweight and fast
    - No data collection, no tracking, no analytics
  
  HOW IT WORKS
  The extension applies CSS overrides on top of the existing dark mode. On X/Twitter it targets known class selectors and inline styles. On Grok it overrides the native  --surface-* CSS variables. No DOM elements are injected or modified.
