Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/karakeep-app/karakeep/issues/1100

Describe the feature you'd like

A simple dropdown to allow for dark/light/auto theme in the extension options. Bonus points if it could follow the user's preference that is set on the hoarder server.

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing Hoarder users

This is a simple quality of life improvement, and enhances the hoarder ecosystem by making the experience more cohesive.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

No

Plus, I would love a white icon for dark mode users and a dark one for white mode users.

@LeonKohli couldn't agree more. The current black icon in Chrome is almost invisible in dark mode.

I was looking for this too.

Readability in dark mode is poor.

For now, I’m hiding the icon and using a shortcut to launch it. It works, but having the icon visible would be better.

Okayy, I was able to resolve the issue, but it only works if you use the Vivaldi browser and apply custom CSS modules.
