WP_Dark_Mode

Fun fact while you are waiting: the most probable reason why Wattpad refuses to make their own dark mode is because of the fact that most of the colors given to the website elements are hard-coded. This means that, if they would want to implement a dark mode setting, they would have to manually visit every single element that has a color added to it, and turn the hard-coded color into a variable. And because the website is pretty large, this means doing so would require weeks, maybe months of work. 
          	
          	Don't worry, this is not just a distraction from the fact that the extension is basically abandon-ware at the moment, I am here to tell you that version 2.0.0 is well on the way. Once the extension is nearly finished, I will upload a new book with some sneak peeks, so look out for that!

The Extension is nice but there seems to be a problem with some of the text having the wrong color making it near impossible to read.

@RemytimeLive Hi there! Thank you for your contribution. I am currently hard at work to create V2.0 of the Wattpad Dark Mode extension, which will implement a system that automatically turns all objects of the Wattpad website dark. Until V2.0 rolls out, you will sadly be stuck with the current version, so if it annoys you a lot you might want to look into general dark mode extensions on the Chrome Web Store.

I am getting messages about the extension and I know, I'm sorry. I want you to know that I have not forgotten you! In 5 months I will do my finals and after those I will have free time to work on the extension. Thank you for your patience!

I am aware of the current update of the Wattpad layout, and that it looks pretty bad with the extension enabled. Due to an upcoming testweek and mental health issues the development rate is at 0%. Until the next update feel free to turn off the extension, I will notify you when you can turn it back on again.

The update with changes to the most important and most used parts of the website is ready, sadly a bit later than I wanted to due to personal stuff. I wanted to upload it just now, but I can't log in to the developer portal so I have to wait 6 hours to be able to reset my password.  In the mean time I will work on some of the less important parts of the site so you can all enjoy the extension more while I work on a new extension that requires no more updates. 
          
          I'll keep you all updated.

Hey there,
          
          I want to thank you all for getting me to this insane milestone of 10.000 installs on the extension. When I started working on this extension merely as a joke to my friends I didn't even think about actually uploading it and when my friends pushed me to do so, I really didn't expect it to reach this far. Thanks a lot for that!
          
          Now, with the exciting news for me out of the way, some exciting news for you guys! In the upcoming days I will be working on an update for the extension, which will (hopefully) be the last update to this horribly coded version of this extension.
          This extension is now quite old, and in the meanwhile I have upped my coding skills. The way this extension is coded is insanely inefficient, meaning I have to keep updating which is annoying for me and just as annoying for you. But now, I will be working on a new version of the extension that will keep the amount of work I need to do minimal and the amount of reading/writing pleasure for you optimal.
          
          There is a slight catch though, as of next wednesday I will be starting my final exam year, which is going to be insanely busy for me. This means I won't have as much time to code the new version as fast as I would want to. So if I may use this expression again: please bear with me here.
          
          Anyways, this message is starting to become it's own book. I hope you're as excited as I am and I wish you a lot of fun reading, writing and browsing Wattpad!
          
          TL;DR : Thanks for the 10.000 installs, there will be a quick update in the near future and there will be a bigger update in the future.
