True Dark Mode: Google Docs, Sheets & Slides by Arkpine Software

True Dark Mode turns the whole Google Docs, Sheets, Slides and Forms editor dark — not just the page.

Most "dark mode" extensions leave you with a gray sidebar, a glaring page, and colored text that becomes unreadable. This one is built for how these editors actually render today, so the result is a real dark theme.

IMAGES STAY IMAGES
Google Sheets and Docs draw on a canvas, which is why photos often turn into negatives under a dark theme. True Dark Mode keeps them in their real colors: inside Sheets cells, over the grid, on document pages and on slides.

GOOGLE DOCS
• Near-black page and app chrome, light body text with proper contrast
• Colored text, links and highlights keep their color instead of turning into mud
• Inline images and photos keep their original colors — no negatives
• Menus, toolbar, right-click menus, dialogs, the comments sidebar and the outline panel are all dark

GOOGLE SHEETS
• Dark grid with light text; cell colors and colored text stay recognizable
• Charts go dark too, with their series colors kept; pictures keep their real colors
• Formula bar, toolbar, menus, sheet tabs and dialogs are all dark

GOOGLE SLIDES
• Light slides go dark with readable text; colored text keeps its color
• Photos and images keep their exact colors, and decks you designed dark stay exactly as they are
• Pastel shapes and table rows become dark versions of their color; strong colors stay as you chose them
• Prefer to see your design as is? One switch keeps the deck in its original colors and darkens only the app around it
• Your slideshow is never touched: you always present the real colors

GOOGLE FORMS
• The editor goes dark: questions, responses, settings, menus and the theme panel
• The page people fill in goes dark too, with radio buttons, checkboxes and dropdowns that stay easy to see
• Your theme stays recognizable: the page keeps its tint, the color bar and the buttons keep their color
• Header images and pictures keep their exact colors

EVERYWHERE
• The home screens and file lists are dark as well
• Text stays crisp — no blur, no zoom tricks
• One click on the toolbar button to turn it on or off; your choice is remembered
• Seven palettes, from pure black for OLED screens to gray, sepia and three soft tints

Lightweight by design:
• Works only on docs.google.com, on these four editors — it asks for nothing else
• No account, no sign-in, no settings to configure
• No data collection, no analytics, no network requests. Ever.
• No remote code. Everything ships inside the extension.

How to use: install, open any document, spreadsheet, deck or form, and it is dark. Click the moon icon to toggle or pick a palette.
