Getting Started With Night Eye
Use these answers for installation, browser permissions and the first steps after adding Night Eye.
Install Night Eye from the official extension store for your browser. After installation, Night Eye starts in Dark Mode and automatically converts supported websites as they load.
If a website was already open during installation, refresh that tab once. For the complete first-use walkthrough, visit the Night Eye setup guide.
Browsers use permission wording such as “Read and change all your data on all websites” for extensions that need to modify web pages. Night Eye needs access to page colors, backgrounds, text, images and interface elements so it can convert them into Dark Mode.
All page analysis and color conversion happen locally on your device. Night Eye does not transmit the websites you visit, your browsing history or page content as part of the conversion process.
Open your browser’s Extensions menu, find Dark Mode – Night Eye and select the pin icon beside it. The Night Eye icon will remain visible in the toolbar so you can quickly change modes and settings.
For browser-specific screenshots, see Step 2 of the setup guide.
Yes. Night Eye starts converting supported websites automatically after installation. Open the extension only when you want to switch between Dark, Filtered and Normal modes or adjust website appearance.
Account, Payment and Activation
Learn when an account is required, how to purchase a plan and how paid activation works.
You can use Night Eye Lite without creating an account. An account is required when you purchase, activate or manage a paid Night Eye plan. You can create an account whenever you decide to upgrade.
Open the Night Eye Client Area, sign in to your account and choose the plan you want to purchase. You can pay for Night Eye Pro, Pro Max or Ultimate using the available payment options at checkout.
Sign in to the Night Eye Client Area
Compare the available plans on the Night Eye pricing page before purchasing.
Open the Night Eye extension and sign in using the same account you used in the Night Eye Client Area. After you sign in, the purchased plan and subscription status are verified and the plan is activated automatically.
Appearance, Controls and Integrations
Detailed answers about modes, filters, integrations, shortcuts and browser-specific behavior.
Some websites, including YouTube, Reddit and other supported services, provide their own dark themes. Deep Integration allows Night Eye to control those themes directly from the extension.
Deep Integration – Night Eye controls the website’s built-in light or dark preference. The mode selected in Night Eye takes precedence over the preference selected on the website.
Night Eye Dark – Night Eye applies its own conversion algorithm instead of using the website’s built-in theme.
Disabled – Night Eye neither converts the website nor controls its built-in theme.
Websites commonly save theme preferences in cookies or localStorage on your device. When Deep Integration is enabled, Night Eye updates the relevant local preference so the supported website uses the selected theme.
In Dark Mode, the available filters can be used together. The final result depends on the adjustments you select.
In Filtered Mode, image and color-conversion controls are unavailable because the website’s original colors are preserved. Brightness, contrast, warmth and dimming can still be combined.
Windows and Linux
- Alt + Shift + 2 – Switch between Dark Mode and Normal Mode.
- Alt + Shift + 3 – Disable or enable Night Eye.
macOS
- Cmd + Shift + 2 – Switch between Dark Mode and Normal Mode.
- Cmd + Shift + 3 – Disable or enable Night Eye.
Night Eye needs permission to access search-result pages in Opera.
macOS: Open Opera’s extensions page with Shift + Cmd + E, or open the View menu and select Extensions.
Windows: Open the Opera menu, select Extensions and then Manage Extensions. You can also use Ctrl + Shift + E.
Find Night Eye and enable Allow access to search page results. Reload Google after changing the permission.
On some websites, uBlock Origin’s cosmetic filtering can interfere with the changes applied by Night Eye. If a website is not converted correctly or behaves unexpectedly, open uBlock Origin and disable cosmetic filtering for that website using the eye icon in uBlock Origin’s toolbar.
Website and Page Settings
Choose whether Night Eye settings apply everywhere, to one website, to its subdomains or to an individual page.
Global and Website-Specific Settings
Apply to all websites uses the selected mode and display adjustments across supported websites.
Apply to the current website changes only the website you are visiting. Other websites keep their existing settings.
Custom Mode for Each Page
Night Eye can use different settings on individual pages of the same website. For example, one page can remain in Normal Mode while another page uses Dark Mode.
- Visit the page you want to configure.
- Open Night Eye and select Customize Pages.
- Add the current page.
- Refresh the page and choose its preferred mode or filters.
These page-specific settings do not change the rest of the website.
Apply Settings to Subdomains
Enable the Subdomains option when you want subdomains to inherit the preferences applied to their main domain.
Example: Tumblr
If Subdomain Settings is turned off, Night Eye can apply Dark Mode to tumblr.com while a page such as blogname.tumblr.com remains in Normal Mode.
If Subdomain Settings is turned on, the preferences applied to tumblr.com are also applied automatically to its subdomains.
Schedule and System Theme Settings
Choose when Night Eye changes website appearance automatically or let it follow your operating system or browser theme.
Schedule Dark Mode
Use Schedule when you want Night Eye to activate and deactivate at specific times.
- Open the Night Eye extension.
- Open Settings.
- Find Schedule.
- Choose the hours when Night Eye should use Dark Mode.
For example, Night Eye can enable Dark Mode in the evening and return websites to their normal appearance during the day.
Follow Your System or Browser Theme
Use OS/Browser integration when you want Night Eye to follow a supported appearance setting automatically.
macOS: Open System Settings → Appearance. Dark makes Night Eye present websites in Dark Mode, Light uses Normal Mode and Auto follows the system’s automatic changes.
Windows: Open Settings → Personalization → Colors and choose the system mode Night Eye should follow.
Browser Theme Behavior
Chrome and Opera may use their own color-scheme preferences. When a supported browser theme is set explicitly, it can override the operating system appearance for Night Eye.
If Night Eye Schedule and OS/Browser integration are enabled together, OS/Browser integration takes precedence. Disable one of the two automation options if you want the other to control Night Eye independently.
To disable integration, open Night Eye, go to Settings, locate OS/Browser color-scheme integration and set it to Disabled.
Privacy and Security
Understand how Night Eye processes pages, images and the limited technical information required for the service.
Night Eye analyzes page structure and appearance locally in real time. It evaluates colors, backgrounds, text, images and interface elements so it can create a usable dark theme.
Website URLs, domains, page content and browsing history are not transmitted to Night Eye servers as part of Dark Mode conversion.
Night Eye transmits limited technical and licence information required for authentication and subscription verification. This may include an internal user identifier or authentication token, subscription status, extension and browser version, device or browser information and IP address.
If you create an account, purchase a plan or contact support, the information required to provide those services is also processed. Night Eye does not transmit the content of websites you visit.
For complete details, read the Night Eye Privacy Policy.
Night Eye may process small interface images, icons and repeating backgrounds pixel by pixel on your device. It evaluates their color structure so they remain visible after conversion.
If a color adjustment is necessary, Night Eye modifies the displayed colors. Otherwise, the image remains unchanged. Night Eye does not identify the subjects, objects or meaning of images.
Troubleshooting and Support
Find explanations for common conversion issues and learn what information to include in a support request.
Contact support from the extension: Open Night Eye and select the messaging icon in the upper-right corner.
The extension includes a built-in support system. Open Night Eye and select the messaging icon in the upper-right corner to submit a support request.
If a feature is not working correctly or a website is not converted properly, contact us through the built-in support system. Open Night Eye and select the support icon beside Settings in the upper-right corner.
Include a short description, the affected URL, a screenshot, your browser and your Night Eye version. These details help us investigate the problem more quickly.
Attach screenshots directly when available. If you cannot attach an image, you may upload it to a file-sharing service such as Pasteboard and include the link.
Browser-protected pages, isolated embedded content and certain website technologies may prevent extensions from changing all page elements. Older websites that use many image-based backgrounds or buttons can also be difficult to convert completely.
Report the affected website through the built-in support system. We will investigate whether the conversion can be improved technically.
White areas are often large, light images or backgrounds that cannot be safely recolored without changing the content of the image. If the area is part of the website interface rather than a photograph, report the website through support.
Websites use different methods to display icons, and some are embedded inside large images. Night Eye avoids processing large images because doing so could distort their content, which may leave embedded icons unchanged.
Night Eye is regularly updated with improved methods for processing interface icons.
Some text fields, messaging boxes and forms are controlled by browser restrictions or isolated website components. These elements may not allow extensions to change their appearance completely. Night Eye continues to improve support for these cases.
Some backgrounds are large images rather than website colors. Night Eye may leave them unchanged to avoid altering photographs, illustrations or other meaningful visual content.
This can happen when text is positioned over a large image. Night Eye may adjust the text color while leaving the image unchanged, producing insufficient contrast in unusual layouts.
Report the affected page through the built-in support system so we can investigate whether the conversion can be improved.
If an email does not print correctly in Gmail or another service using Chrome, open the browser’s print settings and make sure Background graphics is disabled before printing.
