Dark Mode for Gmail (Unofficial)
Overview
Makes the whole of Gmail dark, message bodies included. Click the toolbar icon to switch it on or off. Not affiliated with Google.
Gmail's own Dark theme darkens the frame around your mail, but HTML emails such as newsletters, receipts and notifications still open on their sender's bright white background. Dark Mode for Gmail darkens those too, so the whole of Gmail on the web goes dark. What it does • Darkens the inbox, conversations, message bodies and the compose window • Keeps photos, avatars and emoji close to their real colours • Keeps links, labels and brand colours in their own colour family • Turns on and off with one click on the toolbar icon, and remembers your choice • Runs only on mail.google.com Private by design No account, no tracking, no analytics, no ads and no network requests. The extension never stores or sends your email. The one thing it remembers is whether dark mode is on or off. Good to know • If Gmail's own Dark theme is on, the extension leaves the page alone and shows "!" on its icon. Switch Gmail to the Default theme (Settings → Themes) for a full dark mode. • Pictures with a white background inside an email (logos, signatures) stay white. • Strong, saturated colours in pictures (a bright red, say) come out a little muted. • Gmail's picture themes may look wrong; the Default theme works best. Free, with an optional tip from the icon's right-click menu. Nothing is locked behind it. Found a screen that's still bright?
