🌙 DarkWave — Smart Dark Mode for Every Website

The dark mode extension that actually works — including Google Sheets and Google Docs.

Most dark mode extensions fail on productivity tools. Sheets stays blinding white, Docs looks off, and you end up needing two different extensions just to cover Google's apps. DarkWave fixes all of that with one clean extension that works everywhere.

─────────────────────────────
⚡ INSTANT TOGGLE (Alt + Shift + D)
─────────────────────────────
No need to open the popup. Press Alt+Shift+D from any tab to flip dark mode on or off instantly. A small toast notification confirms the switch so you always know the current state.

─────────────────────────────
📊 GOOGLE SHEETS & DOCS — FINALLY FIXED
─────────────────────────────
Sheets renders its grid on a canvas element — something most extensions get completely wrong, leaving the cells white while only the toolbar goes dark. DarkWave handles this correctly: the entire spreadsheet, every cell, every row, goes dark. Docs works seamlessly too. Same extension, no extra setup.

─────────────────────────────
🧠 SMART DARK-PAGE DETECTION
─────────────────────────────
Applying dark mode to a page that already has its own dark theme inverts it — turning it accidentally light. DarkWave detects native dark backgrounds automatically and skips those pages. If you want to force dark mode anyway (or override the detection), just toggle the site switch in the popup. Your preference is saved permanently for that domain.

🎛️ EVERYTHING IS CONFIGURABLE
─────────────────────────────
• Global on/off toggle — one switch for all sites
• Per-site override — enable or disable per domain, saved permanently
• Brightness slider (50–100%) — dial in exactly how dark you want
• Contrast slider (50–120%) — sharpen or soften the look
• Image protection — re-inverts photos so they look natural, not like X-rays
• Smooth transitions — gentle animation when toggling (or turn it off)
• Auto schedule — set a time range (e.g. 8 PM → 7 AM) to auto-activate

─────────────────────────────
✦ QUICK PRESETS
─────────────────────────────
Four built-in presets to jump to a great starting point:
🌙 Balanced — comfortable for all-day use
🌑 Midnight — deep dark for late-night sessions
🌫️ Soft — gentle, low-contrast for sensitive eyes
⬛ Abyss — maximum darkness

─────────────────────────────
🚫 ZERO FLASH
─────────────────────────────
Dark mode is injected at document_start — before the page even renders. No white flash, no flicker, no jarring transition when a page loads.

─────────────────────────────
🌐 WORKS ON EVERY BROWSER
─────────────────────────────
Built on Manifest V3 — fully compatible with Firefox, Chrome, Brave, Vivaldi, Arc, Edge, and Zen Browser. One extension covers all your browsers.

─────────────────────────────
🔒 PRIVACY FIRST
─────────────────────────────
DarkWave stores all settings locally on your device. No data is ever collected, transmitted, or shared. No accounts, no analytics, no tracking.

─────────────────────────────
🚫 BLACKLIST ANY WEBSITE INSTANTLY
─────────────────────────────
Some websites already have a built-in dark mode. If DarkWave is applied on top of it, the page may look incorrect. Instantly blacklist any site using: Alt + Shift + B

─────────────────────────────
HOW TO USE
─────────────────────────────
1. Click the DarkWave moon icon in your toolbar to open the popup
2. Toggle "Global Dark Mode" to turn on dark mode for all sites
3. Use Alt+Shift+D to toggle without opening the popup
4. Visit any site — dark mode applies automatically with zero flash
5. On a site with its own dark theme? DarkWave auto-skips it. Use the site toggle to force override if needed
6. Adjust brightness, contrast, and presets until it feels right

That's it. No configuration required to get started.
