Environment
Google Docs
Issue
Unlike some other Google apps, Google Docs does not have an option for Dark Mode. While some browser plugins are available, these are likely to violate U-M privacy protocols for third-party extensions.
Resolution
The only current solution is to modify every page separately.
- Select all text (Windows: control+a, Mac: command+a).
- Bring up the text color option (Windows: alt+/, then type "text color", Mac: option+/).
- Choose white as your text option.
- Bring up the page setup dialogue (File>Page Setup), and choose a black background.
- If you wish to toggle off some of the items surrounding the page, such as the menus, press Ctrl+Shift+F.
Repeat the process, choosing black text on a white background, to go back to the standard view.
