Blackboard Dark Mode - DarkBoard
Extension Actions
- Live on Store
Dark mode for Blackboard Ultra at Iona University. No setup, no white flash, just a readable LMS at 2am.
Blackboard Ultra has no dark mode, and never has. Anthology builds for
universities, not for the student staring at a blinding white LMS at 1am.
DarkBoard fixes that for Iona.
WHAT YOU GET
• Every page themed - courses, grades, announcements, calendar, messages
• Dark from the very first frame, including Blackboard's embedded frames
• Colour-coded grades, so you can see how an assignment went at a glance
• One switch in the popup, applied instantly to every open Blackboard tab
• Every colour in the theme chosen by measuring contrast, not by eye
WHERE IT WORKS
Iona University's Blackboard (online.iona.edu). If you're at another school
it won't do anything yet — wider support is the next big step.
Built by a Computer Science student at Iona, for Iona. Lightweight, open
source, actively maintained. No accounts, no tracking, no data collected.

- Darkboard... what can I say beyond absolutely incredible. This CHANGED and i mean CHANGED my life for the better. So long are the days of staring at my bright, white, burning screen when doing a grueling and excruciating assignment. AND hello to the days of a dark, night-owl friendly screen. All i can say is thank you.

- Best chrome extension ever made. It's super useful whenever I'm doing a late night assignment or studying on Blackboard. It also matches my regular dark mode settings on the rest of my applications. Super cutesy and definitely recommend to any other Blackboard user.
