Nightmode Messenger Extension

⚠️IMPORTANT⚠️
THIS EXTENSION ONLY WORKS ON messenger.com NOT DIRECTLY THROUGH FACEBOOK. Please do not leave inaccurate reviews if you are not using the correct site.

A simple, lightweight Chrome extension that enables a nightmode theme for Facebook's Messenger. This is a small side project that I am working on to provide a long-requested feature for Facebook's Messenger. If you notice any issues or would like to request features, please feel free to do so!

Update Notes:
Version 0.0.4.7
- Fixed quick action buttons color (e.g. reply, react)
- Changed initial load background color from white to a dark gray

Version 0.0.4.6
- Fixed recent update where bubbles became light gray
- Added dark colour to chat screen while loading in

Version 0.0.4.5
- Fixed white border around message entry field

Version 0.0.4.4
- Fixed chat message colours due to Facebook updating their CSS variable sources

Version 0.0.4.0

Rafael Rivas (ID: 000000955923cd76) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/16/2022 La mejor extensión, y más con eso de que la app de Messenger para windows tiene la falla de que no te deja escribir, pues ésta extensión salvó mis ojos. Gracias!!

Piper Deck (ID: 000000326bd3ae0c) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/05/2022 Works as intended. Was the first such extension that changes the scroll bars to match. Very pleased, will now proceed to forget about it.

Matt Bourque (ID: 00000010baea893d) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/22/2021 This is exactly what I was after... Doesn't block images; works only on messenger.com by default; looks great; fantastic.

Tony Franco (ID: 000000e9c23b772e) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/19/2021 Can't believe how long I've gone without this! This is an incredible find. Everything always needs to have a night mode.
