The extension's name and description now appear in the reader's own language, both in the browser's extension manager and in store listings.
The theme itself needed no changes. Every selector keys off structural attributes and Primer class names, never visible text, so GitHub's own UI language never affected how it renders.Source code released under MIT Licence
Older versions
Version 2.1.0
Released 22 Aug 2026 - 14.94 kBWorks with firefox 140.0 and later, android 142.0 and laterLight Mode Guard:
- The theme now follows GitHub's own decision rather than inferring it from data-color-mode, in single and auto mode alike. It applies when GitHub renders dark and stays out of the way when it renders light, whatever the browser is set to.Auto mode on a light OS previously painted light pages with dark tokens.
High Contrast Support:
- High contrast themes keep the contrast they were chosen for instead of being flattened to the standard palette. dark_high_contrast renders pitch black with borders and text lifted to 10.9:1, matching GitHub's own, where the standard palette sits at 3.0:1. light_high_contrast is left alone.
Minify:
- The package is 11KB, down from 52KB. The CSS is minified and the icon set is generated from one SVG at only the sizes each browser reads. Less to download, and less to parse before first paint.Source code released under MIT Licence
Version 2.0.0
Released 27 Jul 2026 - 59.33 kBWorks with firefox 140.0 and later, android 142.0 and later- Fixed a bug where dropdown menus (like the profile menu and branch switcher) still showed a faint blue-tinted border instead of neutral gray.
- Cleaned up a bunch of smaller UI details that still had a blue tint: labels, code/diff view colors, terminal colors, disabled buttons, and more.
- Fixed theming on GitHub Docs and Gist pages, which weren't properly covered before.
- Fixed a bug that could make text invisible on a few light-only GitHub pages (like the marketing/resources pages) by incorrectly forcing a black background there.
- Improved overall contrast and readability — borders, buttons, and disabled states are easier to see against the pure black background, with some tuning for OLED screens.
