Use Google Docs in dark mode

Posted on in Web

It’s end of year review time, so instead of actually writing, I spent a few minutes configuring Google Docs to work in a pseudo-dark mode.

  1. Open a new Google Doc
  2. Click on “File → Page setup”
  3. Choose the “Pageless” option, and set the background colour to black/dark grey, the “OK” A screenshot of the Google Docs page setup modal, with pages/pageless mode
  4. Change the text colour to white (you might want to set this as a theme if you’re going all-in on this)
  5. Make your window “fullscreen” (the green button on the top left of a window on Mac)
  6. Click the little “^” icon on the right of the task bar (by the “Editing” select) A screenshot showing the ‘Hide the menus’ button
  7. Pinch zoom in a hair, and… Google Docs running in dark mode

voila. Now to write this review…
