Jacob (ID: 000000396bf9a08e) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/01/2023 thank you now I don't have to be blinded

Kevin O'Hear Valesi (ID: 000000c2be876fdf) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 10/28/2023 With a click of the button, this extension made the Canvas's glaringly strenuous page much easier to look at. IT WORKS. With that said, certain sub-text (think descriptions and instructions) doesn't seem to contrast itself enough from the dark background, and may be hard to read. I've found myself highlighting this text when needed, or squinting closely at it, but the extension does it's job in making Canvas less stressful in dark environments, and a simple ctrl+a solves the contrast issue.

William Flores Jr (ID: 0000004a15ec375b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/16/2023 Huge blessing and major L for Canvas. The app allows you to change the appearance, so should the web browser. 5/5

rose ibarra (ID: 0000002d840bb941) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 09/23/2023 I love it so much! I was diagnosed with astigmatism a few years back and I work late into the day so the only time I can work on homework is at night. It's sad that Canvas has not thought of a dark mode for desktop / web when many applications have already. The only issue I have is when I try sending an email to my professors via inbox, NONE of the text is visible, all of the text is still a dark colored font and it matches the dark themed background. The only way for me to read the messages is to highlight the text and read from there, I wish there was a way that the font color was white as well. That is my only constructive feedback, thank you for this extension!!!
