Hello, I've been trying everything for a few days and yours is the best plugin. I only see one thing to improve, in the list of orders, the color of the status does not respect the configured one, being the same color it is not so fast to locate the pending order, it would be something to improve, that it respect the color of the icon of the status of the order. Otherwise congratulations, very good plugin. greetings

Sensible impementation. The dark mode looks great, and is very comfortable to work on, but most importantly, it doesn't load in light mode and then kick in once the DOM is ready on every page load like some other plugins, so it's always dark. Appreciate a dev who doesn't do a CSS job with JS just because they can.

Thanks for this great plugin, it really makes a difference when using WP at night, especially if you are light-sensitive. I suggested a toggle switch to save having to go into my admin profile and looking for the option and the developer was happy to add it. It works great.

Creates a dark mode for the WP Admin screens (Gutenberg and Classic) that, with the exceptions of some admin boxes from a few plug-ins, works like a champ. Many popular plug-ins already accounted for. Creator is very responsive to requests. I usually work in light mode, but find dark mode handy in some circumstances (like when doing stuff at work). Especially with recent changes, it's easy to toggle dark mode on and off. Definitely something I'm using.

Styles looks great, but please add options for default value of "Disable Darkmode?". So i can set "normal mode by default" with option to enable it for users. Or please add hooks to make it possible to change logic of mode by any website specific data.
