Thingiverse Dark Mode Extension

This is a simple script which overwrites the elements on Thingiverse to make the background colors darker. The code was written by a 17 year old developer (hey that's me) in like two hours, and hopefully won't be necessary for long because Thingiverse should just make one themselves.
