About

Relieve eye-strain from the default Google Docs experience with DocsAfterDark. Customize the look of your documents without modifying the original file.

DocsAfterDark features a modern, sleek dark mode and a vibrant light mode. Try out the "midnight" dark mode variant for true-black backgrounds. Accent colors shared by both modes can be customized using the color slider in the settings popup.

Customize the document background to a darker (or lighter) shade. Or, input your own custom CSS (background-color) color.

Choose between the colorful, grayscale, and black invert modes to render document content in dark mode. The colorful invert mode preserves the essence of colors, but note that the colors will not be exact to the original document.

Globally enable/disable the extension, change to dark/light mode, and access all of the above customizations in the settings popup, which can be opened by clicking on the extension’s icon in your browser’s toolbar.

Temporarily enable/disable the extension for the current document using the toggle button in the bottom left corner of the page.

The source code and release notes are available on GitHub at https://github.com/waymondrang/DocsAfterDark.

If you enjoy using DocsAfterDark and would like to support its development, please consider donating on Buy Me a Coffee at https://www.buymeacoffee.com/waymondrang.

Please note that this extension does not currently work for any other Google Workspace products (e.g. Sheets, Slides).
