Beyond dark mode for Google Docs
Image from store
Description from store
Customize the look of Google Docs with a modern dark mode and a dynamic, colorful light mode.
Easily switch between dark and light mode for any document without modifying the original project. Access customization settings in the extension option menu, which can be accessed by clicking on the extension icon in the browser toolbar.
Customize the accent color using the hue slider in the options menu, which is used to set the shades of color in light mode.
With the invert option, document content (excluding some elements, such as images) will be rendered in a comfortable dark mode. By disabling the document border option, documents will blend into the background to create a seamless workspace.
To temporarily toggle dark mode on/off, click on the button in the bottom left corner of the page. Sometimes this button may block other elements, such as the word count widget. When this occurs, enable the Raise Button toggle in the options menu. This button can be hidden entirely in the options menu.
The global toggle in the options menu can be used to disable/enable the extension.

- (2025-05-20) Emiliano Biancotti: Doesn't work on sheets
- (2025-05-19) Nathan Esaias: It's good, the only problem with it is colors don't show up so I can't see which color I am using unless I look at the top. And why are the only 2 colors White and Black with shades of Gray?
- (2025-04-27) Betina Tsvetkova: edit April 2025: doesn't work in google sheets. best extension for G docs ever. I have tried others, but this one provides the exact color and stuff that fits my needs. THANKS
- (2025-04-08) Leonie: I LOVE IT! THANKS!
- (2025-04-05) Anthony Miglino: Midnight is perfect
- (2025-04-02) Yaroslav Smirnov: Too dark. I don't want to mess with custom styles + there's no explanation how to do this. Just give me more option like Apple does in Safari with different reader styles.
- (2025-04-01) Krish D: mad helpful
- (2025-03-23) Danish!: Perfect, keep it up, please don't ruin it.
- (2025-03-19) Henrique Matos: This is the best one I could find. I love that we can change Google's UI to dark mode without affecting the document's colors.
- (2025-03-16) roller: Very good, I like to write late at night so this is a game changer.
- (2025-03-14) Jolene Ng: this extension is so good! the customisation options are super helpful!!
- (2025-03-09) Kheuzi: YES, this one if perfect! the other ones are way too pitch dark which is honestly just as straining as the stark white so this one being more of a dark grey is beautiful and perfect, also being able to customize is just peak! best google docs dark mode on here 100%
- (2025-03-09) Lacey Rae: This is easily the best dark mode extension for Google Docs I've ever found. It's customizable and easy to read in dimmer conditions while allowing me to keep my PC brightness up. I use Google Docs a lot for mod tracking and mod listing purposes, which helps me out in the evening. There is much less eye strain. Many thanks to the creator(s).
- (2025-03-05) robin: tysm for this!!
- (2025-03-04) Sarah Lee: love this extension- makes my page so aesthetic<3
- (2025-03-03) Ella Fields: PERFECT, thank you so much.
- (2025-02-27) Lauryn Marsh: I've tried about 9 other chrome extensions so far, and this is the only one that really works. At first the colors all inverted but if you go to the menu, you can change this by checking or not checking the invert colors box. So helpful and saved my eyes.
- (2025-02-26) Bud Eveland: Instantly worked perfectly upon my Google Doc page refresh. How amazing is that!
- (2025-02-16) Michael Wray: I tried dozens of other options and none of them worked properly. This is perfect and flexible and not intrusive.
- (2025-02-11) Purpl Dragn: Exactly what I need: Dark background, white page. No changes to document page or bad bugs/distracting on-screen buttons. Good stuff!
- (2025-02-11) Andy: The only dark mode extension I've found bearable (and in fact, it's not just bearable, but quite nice.) Thank you devs!
- (2025-02-09) elysion: thank you for my LIFE I OWE YOU MY FIRST BORN CHILD (my fanfic)
- (2025-01-30) HaloNut: This is the best Google Docs dark mode extension I have found. Not only is it open source, but it works as advertised and has easy to use customizations. I especially like that you can turn the background to the page dark, and not the page itself. Thank you for this!
- (2025-01-24) PhantomIGuess: helps my eyes
- (2025-01-21) Alastair Bowers: Well executed and takes over all the existing buttons and UI better than other extensions. Clean and works well.
- (2025-01-20) lexatronicus: Very good, though I wish the custom color worked. It's a very good addon and helps me with my writing.
- (2025-01-19) PON PON PATA PON: edit 2 ā a previous update removed the ability to customize document background color and removed pageless documents having a separate color to the UI (i.e. dark mode was, for a time, worthless for pageless documents), so you had to invert the entire document's colors. thankfully, this was recently fixed. I AM SO GLAD it was fixed, bcz i got this extension to not have to invert document colors
- (2025-01-18) patomwat wongsawart: very good for my eye
- (2025-01-17) Bonny Lads: It is really good! I would recommend that there's a version or the home screen for Google Docs, since swapping between them hurts a lot!
- (2025-01-12) James Pecke: The latest update removed color customization. Full dark mode is way too high contrast for me and leaves burn-in in my eyes when I look away. It's not useful without the custom colors.
- (2025-01-12) Dennis Berens: It works flawlessly, even with the browsersettings on all-black already. It's even customizable, great, thanks!
- (2025-01-09) Colton Rowlands: great
- (2025-01-03) Lorin Francell: Use this one. The others miss nuance. This one allows for variations on mode presentation for reading and reducing the glaring white of the default interface. It wold be nice to see if we can have it un-invert the images when in dark mode. But still this is way better than most.
- (2025-01-03) Ezy DS: Color customisation no longer works on chrome after 1.1.0 update
- (2024-12-23) Rhod D: awesome sauce
- (2024-12-22) Max Zhang: The dark color isn't pitch black, so it's more soothing than what the Dark-Reader extension offers. Thanks for this tool!
- (2024-12-18) Ronel Vincent āMacStevinsā Ching: It would be good if it supports the entire Google Docs Suite
- (2024-12-11) Sam Oldmeadow: thank you my eyes were hurting! you saved me!
- (2024-12-09) Crisha Arroyo: Unstable.
- (2024-12-06) T20C37: it can't work on mac
- (2024-11-28) Lilly Twinsun: I really like this extensions compared to others I tried. It does the work.
- (2024-11-25) Taryn Parker: love this extension! could use an update to include the document tab interface
- (2024-11-20) Samuel cifuentes: It's really useful, Awesome extension for my google docs. Hight recommended
- (2024-11-16) Sara S: Love it a lot. Please update so that the new tabs feature is in dark mode, too. <3
