# Welcome to ThinkDark, a dark theme for Thunkable!

_Hi all, I have a previous post on this from my original account, but I wanted to move it here so I can reply to any questions about the theme, with that said, let’s go!_

## This is intentionally a very simple tutorial, so everyone can enjoy the ThinkDark theme!

* * *

### Simply put, there is a Chrome Extension that lets you re-style any web page you like. There are a few versions of this, only this extension does what we want.

> **If you use Firefox**
>
> There are a few similar add-ons for Firefox, but not one that does what we want yet

So the Chrome Extension I am using for this is called **[Stylebot](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/stylebot/oiaejidbmkiecgbjeifoejpgmdaleoha)**.  
_It’s also open-source like the ThinkDark Theme._

**It’s a great Extension** and allows us to style a page, without affecting functionality. It doesn’t insert code or do anything harmful. It doesn’t track you either. All it does is changes colours and some of the design.

\*The developer has just released Version 3 and the [full code](https://stylebot.dev/) is online for anyone interested.

* * *

## Let’s get to it!

> #### First we need to install the Chrome Extension. [Click here to go to the Chrome Web Store](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/stylebot/oiaejidbmkiecgbjeifoejpgmdaleoha)

_Side note: I’ve been using it for ages, it doesn’t slow anything down and only works on the pages YOU choose._

**Here’s a video for the rest of this process:**

Thanks for sharing and documenting this @appspark.uk

cc’ing Thunkers from your previous post about the development of this just to keep them in the loop.

Thanks @appspark.uk and @domhnallohanlon!

I’ve got it set up! I actually tried making my own Thunkable Dark Theme chrome extension awhile back, but I guess I got distracted… 🙂

Heya,

I think this Forum has automatically reformatted the quotation marks (a.k.a. inverted commas) from the link in my original post, to the curved style, which doesn’t work, so the

### “ ”

around the URL, should be

`" "`

By that I mean it needs to be parallel quotation marks, like this:  
`"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/easaw/ThinkDark/master/ThinkDark.css"`

Hope that helps anyone, as it can be a problem when copying links like this from the web.

_(oh, and I meant to say, I know it’s not your fault Darren!_ 😅_)_

Just a quick update;

I’ve added some new styles to work with the new Blocks and Design features as listed here:

> [@tada Try out the new blocks editor 2020-11-10](http://community.thunkable.com/t/try-out-the-new-blocks-editor-2020-11-10/977841):

> Simplifying Design: Moving Invisible Components to Blocks Today we’re inviting you to try out our new slimmed down Design Tab and the [enhanced Blocks Editor](https://x.thunkable.com/account/features) that goes along with it! At Thunkable our mission is to make cross platform app development as simple and as accessible as possible. We’ve come a long way and we have no plans on stopping any time soon. This is the first in a series of exciting updates planned for the platform which we hope you’ll love just as much as we do. Please leave …

As always, please reply with any feedback or your screenshots _(don’t forget to block out any sensitive data)_, or if you see any problems within the design, please open an issue on GitHub.

Cheers 🙂

### Styles added for new Drag & Drop Designer!

As you can see in the screenshot below, I’ve re-done the buttons, which glow when hovered over as shown on the first button, as well as styled the new Screen layout with a darker edge and nice glow. Any inactive screens have a dark overlay instead of white and they will return to normal when hovered over.

Scroll up to watch a video on how to setup and use ThinkDark for Thunkable!

_P.S. Thanks to Thunkable for making this new layout, looks like it is going to be very useful!_ 👍
