Dark Mode

View hard to read websites in Dark Mode with this easy and free trick...

I quite enjoy writing this newsletter. One of my subscribers complained that the website I was suggesting, https://brutalist.report/, (has since been changed to dark mode first) (and https://bloggy.garden/text-only#pdr) was too hard to read. Blue links on white background. Hundreds of links.

So I found this script:

(function() {
    // Create a new style element
    var style = document.createElement("style");
    // Set the style element's text to the CSS for dark mode
    style.innerHTML = `
    /* Change background color */
    body {
        background-color: #362a2e !important;
    }
    /* Change text color */
    * {
        color: white !important;
    }
    /* Change link color */
    a {
        color: #959595 !important;
    }
    /* Change color of visited links */
    a:visited {
        color: #a8a8a8 !important;
    }
    /* Change color of active links */
    a:active {
        color: #ff8c00 !important;
    }
    /* Change color of hovered links */
    a:hover {
        color: #ffc125 !important;
    }
    /* Change color of selected text */
    ::selection {
        background: #70a1ff !important;
        color: white !important;
    }
    /* Change scrollbar color */
    ::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb {
        background-color: #70a1ff !important;
    }
    /* Change scrollbar track color */
    ::-webkit-scrollbar-track {
        background-color: #1c1c1c !important;
    }
    /* Change scrollbar button color */
    ::-webkit-scrollbar-button {
        background-color: #1c1c1c !important;
    }
    /* Change scrollbar corner color */
    ::-webkit-scrollbar-corner {
        background-color: #1c1c1c !important;
    }`;
    // Append the style element to the head of the document
    document.head.appendChild(style);
})();

Copy and Paste the above javascript into Chrome Developer Tools > console > enter

Replace background color, text color and link color to whatever you like. Find colors at: https://htmlcolorcodes.com/color-picker/
