A simple, lightweight Chrome extension that enables a nightmode theme for Facebook's Messenger.

(2022-09-16) Rafael Rivas: La mejor extensión, y más con eso de que la app de Messenger para windows tiene la falla de que no te deja escribir, pues ésta extensión salvó mis ojos. Gracias!!
(2022-07-05) Piper Deck: Works as intended. Was the first such extension that changes the scroll bars to match. Very pleased, will now proceed to forget about it.
(2021-07-22) Matt Bourque: This is exactly what I was after... Doesn't block images; works only on messenger.com by default; looks great; fantastic.
(2021-06-19) Tony Franco: Can't believe how long I've gone without this! This is an incredible find. Everything always needs to have a night mode.
(2021-06-19) S B: I love it! It's easy on the eyes.
(2021-06-19) Desmond Trang: Amazing UI and very clean look, wish I found out about this sooner!
(2021-06-19) Josh Baltar: Absolutely an amazing add on and easy on the eyes :) I requested a dark scroll bar as well and the developer was able to update it very quickly. An must have if you value your eyes!!
(2021-02-26) Richard De A'Morelli: Love this extension. It brings back the look of the Old FB Messenger, with the right sidebar showing the profile of the person you are currently chatting with, your Shared Photos, Shared Files, etc. All of that seems to be missing in the latest version of the official FB Messenger, which is quite annoying. I hope this app continues to support those features. One suggestion. It would be nice if the Notification ding was silent when NightMode Messenger is the active window on one's desktop. The ding is very helpful when I am working on another virtual desktop and I want to be alerted of a new message. But it's annoying when I'm in the DM Messenger window typing back and forth and it dings after every text arrives. Maybe it can't be changed, or maybe I've messed up a setting that could be fixed, and if so, someone please let me know! Great work on this app!!! I was ready to give up entirely on FB and go to Telegram, so I found this just in time. Thanks!
(2021-02-08) Noah Schmitz: Awesome! Finally can use messenger.com again!

(2020-11-11) Lucas Bambao: Good, it's a good dark mode. But my texts font color shows up as black, and I personally don't want that.
(2020-02-22) Amber Gilley: Doesn't work for me.
(2019-09-23) Ángel López: no funciona :(
(2019-03-24) It works flawlessly with my messenger! Really comforts my eyes when I'm on messenger in a dark room. Recommend this for everyone
