Dark Reverse Thread – Gmail dark mode & newest-first

True dark mode for Gmail, even inside emails, with their colors kept. Plus newest-first threads: latest reply on top.

Turn on Gmail's Dark theme, and the emails you open are still bright white. In long threads, you scroll all the way down every time just to read the latest reply. Dark Reverse Thread fixes both. ■ Dark emails that keep their hues • Backgrounds turn dark and text turns light, but red stays red and blue links stay blue, just adjusted in brightness. It is not a simple color inversion, so emails keep their design. • Images that would disappear in dark mode, such as transparent logos, get their original backdrop back. • If an email ever looks off, the ◐ button next to its Reply button shows just that email in its original colors. • Beyond the thread view, the reply box, compose window, recipient suggestions and menus go dark too. On Gmail's Dark theme, so do the search box and its suggestions. ■ Write in the dark, send the colors you chose • Colors you pick in the reply box or compose window are sent exactly as chosen. Dark ones that would be hard to read here, like black or navy, are only shown lighter on your screen. • Colors recipients can hardly read on a white screen, such as white or pale yellow, get a dotted yellow underline. Press the ◐ button in the toolbar to see your email exactly as it will be sent. ■ The newest email on top • Threads are shown newest-first, so the latest reply is the first thing you see. • Put the Reply / Forward buttons and the reply box right below (default) or right above the newest email. ■ Made to pair with Gmail's theme • The inbox and the rest of Gmail's frame keep Gmail's own theme. Set it to Dark for a fully dark Gmail. • "Change Gmail's theme" in the extension's popup (click its toolbar icon) opens Gmail's theme picker right away. You pick the theme; the extension never changes Gmail's settings itself. ■ One-click switching • Switch dark mode, newest-first order and the reply position anytime from the toolbar icon. You can also add a small quick bar in the bottom-right corner. • When you print, the original colors and oldest-first order come back. ■ Privacy • Nothing is collected or sent anywhere. All changes happen inside your browser. • Only your display settings (on / off and so on) and whether Gmail uses a light theme are saved.
