Is it difficult to create a Chrome extension that enables dark mode for Gmail?

If you're just looking for a dark mode for Gmail and don't want to code it yourself, you might want to try the Dark Reader extension. It works pretty well on most websites out there!

You can actually enable dark mode in Gmail without any extension! Just go to the theme settings and select Dark. This way, you'll have a dark interface on any device when you log into your account.

Creating a basic version isn't too tough. Essentially, a Chrome extension involves a manifest file, a content script, and some CSS. If your goal is just to make Gmail dark enough to avoid glaring at a white screen, that's a realistic project for beginners. Just be aware that Gmail changes its layout from time to time, so your extension might not be reliable long-term.

It's not hard at all! You'd be surprised at how simple it can be.
