Roberto Parra (ID: 0000008d2b550b23) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/29/2023 Excelente extension para unificar mi entorno de trabajo a temas oscuros. Una observación/comentario: Las notificaciones por almacenamiento casi lleno no se pueden leer bien porque no hacen buen contraste. Es una oportunidad para mejorarla.

Ryan Sandhouse (ID: 000000b28226886e) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 07/07/2023 Makes the Drive home screen dark mode but not the documents itself which is what I was looking for. I've done it previously without an extension and now can't find the option to do it again

Arturo Fischer (ID: 000000574bc26ab5) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/26/2023 This incredible Chrome extension has transformed my life in the most extraordinary way imaginable. I was teetering on the edge of partial blindness, thanks to the relentless onslaught of aggressive brightness that Google decided to unleash upon its unsuspecting users in Google Docs. The world around me had blurred into an indistinguishable haze, and I found myself unable to even recognize the faces of my beloved children. The devastating consequence? My wife, unable to bear the constant confusion and mix-ups, abandoned me, leaving a void in my heart. I couldn't tell her apart from her own sister, and my mind, clouded by the blinding brightness, played wicked tricks on my perception, causing immeasurable pain and confusion in my relationships. But the blight of blindness did not limit itself to personal strife alone. Its cruel touch infiltrated my professional life as well. In my distorted perception, I mistakenly offered outrageous 1000% discounts to our cherished clients, oblivious to the countless zeros I was heedlessly adding. The financial repercussions were catastrophic, and our once-thriving company was forced to surrender to the merciless grip of bankruptcy. Then, like a divine intervention, this extraordinary extension entered my life. Miraculously, my eyes began to heal, as if touched by the tender hands of an angel. Colors regained their vibrancy, details emerged from the shadows, and life once again became a breathtaking symphony of sights. In a remarkable twist of fate, my estranged wife returned to my side, drawn by the rekindled light in my eyes. The couch, which had served as my lonely abode, was abandoned as we rediscovered the warmth of togetherness. And that's not all. A trifecta of joy awaits us, as we discovered that we are now blessed with the news of triplets. A testament to the revival of love and hope in our lives. Astonishingly, my boss, witnessing the awe-inspiring transformation brought about by the mesmerizing dark aesthetic of my Google Docs, made the audacious decision to bestow upon me his very own position. Ascending to the helm of the company, I now reign as the supreme authority, orchestrating a symphony of success. In this newfound brilliance, life reveals its resplendent beauty. It is a testament to the power of resilience, and a reminder that even in the darkest of times, the light of redemption can still shine through. And as I bask in the enchanting glow of this extension while toiling away into the depths of the night, I am reminded once more of the ethereal magic that resides within our grasp.
