Hintergründe sind jetzt Schwarz..-> Ich suchte nach einem Addon das die Hintergründe auf sämtlichen Seiten Dunkel macht, da mir abends dir Augen wegbrennen wenn alles so hell weiß ist. Diese Addon erfüllt seinen Job perfekt und ich bin sehr zufrieden! Danke an den Entwickler. lg

Works very well. Light resource consumption, vast customization options (although understanding how to customize is some difficult, it works very well). Most importantly, this is free. 5/5
