Shopify Admin Dark Mode

The Shopify admin has no dark mode. If you work at night, opening it is a flashbang. One toggle fixes that — using the dark palette Shopify already ships but never exposed.

What it does
Dark mode, the way Shopify would have shipped it

It doesn't invert the page and hope. Shopify's admin already contains a complete dark colour palette — this extension flips it on, so the colours are the ones their design team chose.

🌙
One toggle
A button in the admin's own chrome, next to Sidekick, plus a switch in the extension popup. Remembered across reloads, no white flash on load.
🎨
Shopify's own colours
Turns on the dark palette Shopify ships but never exposed. Where a page has none, one is derived from its own light colours — brand colours and badges stay untouched.
🧩
Everything covered
Both admin layouts, the Partners dashboard, Analytics, and embedded apps — Shopify's own plus any you add.
👁️
Nothing gets buried
Measures the real contrast of text against its background and repairs only what's genuinely unreadable. It can't hide something that was legible.

No tracking
No accounts, no analytics, no external servers. One on/off setting stored in your browser. Privacy policy.
⚡
Light on resources
Flips a few classes and lets the admin do the rest. Dark on the very first frame.
