Description

A dark theme for Google Docs web, based on the colors used in its Material You styled mobile apps.

Notes

Latest updates

  • 2023.12.08

    • The Show Document Outline button is legible again and doesn’t get a light background on hover.
  • 2023.10.24

    • The updated “Name current version” dialog is now dark-themed. (Hooray Google Docs team for following M3 specs!)
    • The new Line numbers sidebar is now dark-themed.
  • 2023.08.10

    • The new command search is dark again and is now rounder.
    • In the Page setup dialog, information is now legible and the warning if you have headers, footers, columns, or watermarks is dark-themed.

Updates were slowed down during the fall because of university. After I finish this semester’s exams, I’ll have a few weeks to work on my userstyles. You can always submit issues and pull requests through GitHub.

Duet AI features are not darkened because they are not available in my country. If you have access to it and are willing to contribute, please do so on GitHub.

Browser-specific notes

Firefox (and LibreWolf, &c.) users

Dark Docs uses the newer :has() selector. Support for it in Firefox is currently in development, but you can enable support for it by setting the layout.css.has-selector.enabled preference to true. Follow along with Mozilla’s work on this at Bugzilla.

Chromium-based browsers have full support of the :has() selector.

If you are using an older version of Firefox (prior to version 113), you may not see some hover and focus effects because they rely on the color-mix() function to reduce the size of Dark Docs. To enable support for it, go to about:config and set layout.css.color-mix.enabled to true. Firefox 113 and newer has this enabled by default.

Chrome (and Edge, Vivaldi, &c.) users

By default, Dark Docs uses the Invert document filter so your document appears with an inverted colour scheme (approximately white on black). Since Google Docs renders each page as a single element, there doesn’t seem to be a way to un-invert images so that they look normal. If you must view images un-inverted, you may change the document filter to “Dim” or “None” in the configuration dialog.

/* Notice for Firefox (or LibreWolf, &c.) users
Dark Docs next uses the :has() selector, which is experimental on Firefox at the moment. To enable it, go to about:config and set layout.css.has-selector.enabled to true. Chromium‐based browsers have full support. 
Follow along with Mozilla’s development on the :has selector at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=418039

/* Notice for Chrome (or Vivaldi, Edge, &c.) users
Google Docs renders each page as a single <canvas> element, which may have made it impossible to un-invert images while using the Invert document filter in Dark Docs. If you need to view images un-inverted, open the Stylus extension, click on the cog beside “Dark Docs”, and change the Document filter to “Dim” or “None”.
