    Some webmasters have spent years tweaking their layout and designing their site, and very few get any traffic. This site, as shitty as it looks, gets over 1 million visits per month. I use large fonts also as a protest against all the stylish garbage you see out there. When I go to a web site, I WANT TO READ THE CONTENT. Trust me, that micro-font everyone uses isn’t nearly as original as they think. I’ve chosen a black background for most of my text because it’s easier on the eyes than staring at a white screen. Think about it: your monitor is not a piece of paper, no matter how hard you try to make it one. Staring at a white background while you read is like staring at a light bulb (don’t believe me? Try turning off the lights next time you use a word processor). Would you stare at a light bulb for hours at a time? Not if you want to keep your vision.

    At work? Word > File > Account > Office Theme. Open the drop-down menu and select Black.

    Right Click > Personalization > Colors > Dark Mode

    Voila

      My office uses 2013 so uh, guess what doesn’t exist? No, really. I hate it.

      Honestly, ime? Don’t. It BREAKS more webpages than any other addon I’ve ever used. It’s nice, sure, but about 30-40% of websites break in either minor or extreme ways. Most common for me is changing the pop-up-login-box color from white to black on most sites completely breaks it.

      At first I was just pausing it on sites it didn’t work with but that was so much extra work I uninstalled

        It’s rare these days than when it first started. FYI you can just click on the site name and it remains disabled for that specific site rather than turning it on or off regularly.
