Trello Night for Chrome — Customize Your Boards with Dark Themes
-
What it is: A Chrome extension that applies a dark/night theme to Trello by injecting CSS into Trello pages, giving boards, lists, and (in many cases) card areas darker backgrounds and adjusted text colors for reduced glare.
-
Key benefits:
- Reduces eye strain in low-light conditions.
- Lightweight and fast (injects CSS directly rather than heavy page processing).
- Often preserves Trello layout while changing colors to dark palettes.
-
Typical features:
- One-click enable/disable (requires refreshing open Trello tabs).
- Dark backgrounds for board canvas and panels, with adjusted text color for contrast.
- Some extensions let you view or copy the CSS to further customize colors.
-
Limitations to expect:
- Not all extensions darken every element (card interiors, background images, or third‑party Power-Ups may remain light).
- May need a page refresh after install/enable/disable.
- Because it modifies page styling, some visual glitches or incompatibilities with Trello updates can occur.
-
Alternatives: General dark-mode extensions (e.g., Dark Reader, Night Eye) or userstyles (Stylus/userstyles.org) if you want broader control or site‑by‑site tweaking.
-
Quick install steps:
- Open Chrome Web Store and search for “Trello Night” or “Trello Dark Mode.”
- Click Add to Chrome → Add extension.
- Refresh any open Trello tabs and toggle the extension if needed.
- If available, open extension options or developer console to tweak CSS colors.
