Works great. So much nicer on the eyes.

This plugin does exactly what it says it will do. 5/5. BUT, there is an error being generated, possibly because the plugin hasn’t been maintained for a long time, that causes the post creation page to not fully switch to dark mode. Which is sad, because that’s what I mainly want to use it for. But hey, if the dev gets that fixed, we are back to the best dark mode plugin. I love the decision to not make any spammy “premium” features. Just hope the dev is okay.
