User reviews
DocsAfterDark effectively provides dark mode for Google Docs and is favored over alternatives. Users appreciate the toggle feature and developer responsiveness. However, recent updates have introduced performance lags and incomplete dark mode coverage, leaving white areas on the page and impacting readability. The add-on also lacks support for spreadsheets and images, and some UI elements remain inconsistently styled. Overall, it's a valuable tool for reducing eye strain, but some features and performance need improvement after updates.
Pros
- Effectively enables dark mode for Google Docs, reducing eye strain for long writing sessions.
- Includes a toggle to switch between dark and light modes as needed.
- Generally reliable and better than other similar dark mode add-ons for Google Docs.
- Prompt developer response, including rollback of problematic updates and fixes.
- Supports document tabs with dark mode, appreciated by users.
Cons
- Recent updates caused performance issues such as lagging and slowing down Google Docs.
- Dark mode coverage is incomplete post-update; white areas remain on the top border and empty parts of the page.
- Does not support dark mode on spreadsheets and images (images appear pitch black).
- Grayscale text does not switch properly to contrasting backgrounds, making some text less readable.
- Some UI elements like the "Document tabs" button remain white, which is visually jarring.

Doesn't work in main menu but works perfectly in the doc itself!! Which honestly is all you need. Even has a little toggle if you ever need to change back and forth
