Chrome DevTools Dark Theme Extension
!!! DOESN'T WORK IN CHROME 62 AND LATER !!!
I'm planning to fix this, but it might take a while until I get around to do it.
First install this extension, then do the following:
After enabling DevTools Experiments in Chrome (http://islegend.com/development/how-to-enable-devtools-experiments-within-google-chrome/), go to DevTools Settings -> Experiments -> Enable \"Allow Custom UI themes\". Go to Preferences and select Theme: \"Dark\", which enables Chrome's own Dark Theme. This theme builds on top of that.
