It would be nice if the plugin followed the system dark mode settings so when your system is in light mode messenger would be in light mode and if your system is in dark mode then messenger would be in dark mode. (You could do this with media queries.)

See below. Just started today.

I wanted to use the black theme with sidebar messenger app but it looks like it doesn't work or am I doing something wrong? Appreciate your help in advance!

As described before, there was probably an update or something today that broke the extension and now the colors are wrong. Looking forward to the fix. Thanks for making this extension, I have been using it as long as I can remember and it has been a godsend for years.

Example:

When you try and install the package via the Microsoft edge store it returns an error sayin "Package is invalid. Details: "Couldn't load icon icons/icon16.png specified in icons."

I've been using the extension for a long time, and oh boy, my eyes had a great time. Yesterday, my Messenger suddenly reloaded, and the extension was deactivated. Gone are the days my eyes are pleased. I tried restarting the system, removing and redownloading the extension. Nothing worked. I'm on Microsoft Edge Desktop.

Good day!

The plugin suddenly stopped working. Can I get some assistance?

Thanks!

When a chat is selected or hovered their background color is almost the same as the general background color. So I can't see which chat is selected.

When I click on a chat for a moment (of clicking) there is a different color)

That color should be also when a chat is selected and hovered or even 3 different (but noticeable) colors for every state.

Trying to use this lovely theme with Hamsket, which allows JS injection but not SCSS sadly.

It seems that, recently, Facebook made some changes that stopped the selectors from applying to every icon properly. Some of them are no longer changed to white:

The text in the sidebar is really white. In the windows desktop client if the message has already been seen then the text turns a lighter grey (something like #CCC) which makes it easier to look at.

Using Edge with v1.7, changes at the Meta end have made the recipient text turn white on a white text block. It is unreadable. Sender text is fine. Used to work perfectly.

I have a chat that has an orange theme. In the mobile app, the sent messages are themed in an orange gradient (gets lighter as it moves upward).

In messenger.com with your extension, the non-reply sent messages get a standard blue color while the reply-style sent messages get the orange theme. The Like symbol also gets the orange theme.

Expectation: all sent messages follow the theme.

Similar to before, messenger probably updated again resulting to the extension not working properly and leaving the chat area background color white.

The area in question is this:

The class in question:

The variable came from here:

Call buttons that are above the chat for making voice and video calls changed to white. They should be blue like the 3 dots button.

Without the dark style they are blue.

Could you fix that it would be blue?

Open the browser on edge today and the background on the message area is suddenly white.

The theme looks great, but the scroll bars are white and very flashy in contrast. I'm on Chrome on Linux Mint.

The thumbs-up sign emoji that can be quickly inserted to the chat with a button changes it's color to white.

This is how it looks without the add-on:

Could you fix that its color wouldn't be changed?

I noticed that messenger.com has a new look (though I don't really like it because they added so much dead space around each of the panels, and there's also a dead scrollbar on the right edge).

And I looked in the Preferences pane and noticed this:

I disabled the extension, and the official Dark Mode works well. I guess I may not need this extension anymore, although if you'd write another one to fix the dead space and dead scrollbar, I'd be all over it.

Please keep this repo and extension though, as I don't know if everyone has this update already or not. Could be a limited beta or something.

This started like a few days ago, and no matter what theme the chat has.

I'm using Edge, so maybe that's why this bug occurs, but I have been using this extension for a long time and it's the first time seeing this.

Incoming message background color is too dark or maybe text color should be white

• Add to Edge store
• Update README to link to edge store

Hi, your extension compared to the other dark mode extension called Charcoal seems better at a quick comparison glance, especially, how the buttons (f.e. reply, react) are visible, and the scroll bars are also dark, among other quality of life stuff. Simply, yours is the better extension.

But Charcoal is darker, it's closer to the OLED full black - I believe it's called something like this. I don't know anything about development, I'm just a casual user, but would you be able to add darker shades of blacks we could choose from? I prefer a darker shade of gray, or even almost fully black compared to your lighter gray.

It was white in color and fine just a few days ago...

They updated something on messenger tonight, and the incoming chat's colors can no longer be read. It's a white background bubble with a very light grey looking text. The only way to read it with the dark theme on is to highlight it.

While full support for custom CSS scrollbars isn't yet available without some -webkit hackery, it appears you can get Windows to render scrollbars in darkmode with the color-scheme property.

Are there any plans to implement this? It doesn't seem too complicated; I would gladly make a PR.

i can't read the messages because text boxes are white after i added this extension. This only applies to the replies of the person im talking to.

The scrollbars look like this on both Win11 and MacOS:

The system and browser themes are also set to dark on both systems.
I also checked other websites with built-in dark mode and the scrollbars are dark everywhere, but here.
I added this line to :root and it seems to fix the issue:
:root { color-scheme: dark; }

Can you please fix this?
Thanks in advance!

Current version doesn't work with messenger.com for edge sidebar

Hello. The plugin is currently not working properly. Shows a white background in messages from friends. Is it possible to fix it? I love this extension and would love to continue using it. Thank you very much! :)

Is there any way to remove or change the color of these circles for profile pics for groups?

Hello,
is there a chance that you'll also change the color of background of setting list (and other list - conversation settings and profile menu - the one after you click on your profile pic) to darker one, like everywhere else?

Hello,

It looks like there are a few places where the extension isn't colouring the Messenger icons correctly. These include:

1. The show (and hide) additional actions button.

2. The hole inside the Change Theme preview icon.

3. The Create new room button in the Chat panel.

Just want you to know that the extension in its current form works perfectly in Safari. Just ran the following command on src folder

xcrun safari-web-extension-converter

And then ran on Safari. Unfortunately distribution of Safari Web Extensions requires a developer license
