Yasmine Abdellaoui (ID: 000000fb8365a533) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 11/11/2023 Does exactly what it says it does, but the dark mode inverts the colors of images. If that is fixed, I'll reinstall, but until then, I prefer using the pageless option, changing the color to black and manually closing the menu.

Artem Luzik (ID: 0000009e26bb68e4) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 09/16/2023 If you have white text on the dark background in your google doc, this extension will put white background with your white text. And if you will try to switch it to "dark mode"... It will put both text and background to dark. Wow.

Joel Grayson (ID: 0000000cf549d1a8) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/09/2023 This extension has stopped working. I created an extension that does the same thing and adds a pomodoro timer. Check it out here: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/focus-for-google-docs/djnloioaddlnmagobbcnjpppmbelfocf P.S. I want to thank the author of this extension because I loved the extension while it worked and thought it would be worth making sure there is an up-to-date extension.

Bruce Davidson (ID: 0000006ec38435f4) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 10/11/2022 Very DISTRACTING. All it does is make the menu blink. This is the most useless extension ever made.

Paula Pamintuan-Riva (ID: 000000d2ea31fc82) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/05/2022 I suspect the new Pageless feature on Google Docs (where you can change the background color, too) makes this extension obsolete (added to the fact that it has stopped working), but I wanted to write this review to say thank you to the developers for providing this solution, which was truly ahead of its time. Thank you!
