This addon could be very good and effective, but sadly it's bad, unreliable in conjunction with using containers, it disables itself and dark theme by itself, so one has to repeatedly reactivate the dark theme in addon, also problems with switching between the themes when screen res is 4k. Too bad this wasn't sufficiently tested before release
