- Rated 4 out of 5by silly, a year agolove this! my only problem is that if you toggle on the capybara theme and then toggle it off, it doesn't actually go away, and you have to remove the extension and reinstall it to bring it back to normal
edit: it won't let me reply to you directly, sorry! it's not working properly- i can send you an email with pictures if you'd like!Developer response
posted a year agoHey there, this is a new feature so I was expecting some bugs, but I'm not sure what you mean by toggling it off. Is the "revert changes" button not working properly?
Yes if you could send an email that would be great. Thanks - Rated 5 out of 5by deeeee, a year ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by momo, a year agoHeyo! Better Canvas doesn't work on my firefox or my google chrome! Only the dark mode works ):
EDIT: That was totally it! Thank you!!Developer response
posted a year agoHi, it sounds like you might be in list view if dark mode is the only thing working. Most of the features only work in card view. Can you try switching to it and see if that helps?
Edit: Glad to hear that it worked. Enjoy! - Rated 5 out of 5by NitroNik22, a year ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Luz, a year agoI contacted the creator for help with a minor bug involving the coloring for published assignments, and he fixed it in less than a day!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17955339, a year agoEasy to use and doesn't just invert the colors like other extensions.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17802443, 2 years agoExcellent Extension, can we have the ability to set cusotm images for our courses locally? Some courses don't have images as teachers are unaware of how/lazy etc... If we could locally upload some custom images for courses, perhaps local renaming aswell? That would be awesome! Maybe under an 'advanced settings' option.

posted 2 years agoI think thats a cool idea, I'll look into implementing it. Thanks for rating
Edit: This feature is in the new update, let me know if you encounter any issues with it, and again thank you for the suggestion - Rated 5 out of 5by Triston Oswald, 2 years agoFantastic add-on, love this on Chrome too! Custom dark modes for sites I use all the time are always nice to find. It would be nice if the "Dashboard Grades" toggle worked even if "Dashboard Assignments" is turned off.
Edit: The dashboard grades feature was added. Incredible! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17657507, 2 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by jax, 2 years agothis is a great extension and i've been using it for quite a while, but as of 8/4/22, right after update 5.0.1, it doesn't work whatsoever for me :( it's as if i don't have it installed at all (tried reinstalling, repasting URL, and logging out of canvas, nothing helped). hopefully they can get it fixed soon, b/c this is one of my favorite add-ons!
edit: my issue is fixed as of 8/8/22. dev is very nice and helpful :)Developer response
posted 2 years agoThanks for letting me know about this, I want to fix this asap. Can you email me (ksucpea@gmail.com) so I can get more information? - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 16396950, 3 years agoIt mostly works great and I love that I can customize the colors however I want. However, customizing the colors occasionally causes that section to completely disappear from the settings until I reset the colors back to default, which is incredibly annoying.
Another issue is that some icons on Canvas (like the black download icon or the black hyperlink icon) don't seem to allow for customization via this extension, causing them to blend into the background if you attempt to use a dark background.Developer response
posted 3 years agoHey there, not sure if you get notifications from my replies, but I just fixed the customization issue you were talking about. Also those icons you're referring to are external images, so I cannot target them with my dark mode. Appreciate the feedback! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16789623, 3 years agoVery useful & interesting features, love the newer more customizable options
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17072626, 3 years agoWorks well and canvas is now easily not hurting my eyes because of the default light mode.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15097235, 4 years agoDark Mode looks good - better than any of Dark Reader's modes for the Canvas site.
The assignment list is going to be VERY useful for me, wow. Nice one. The gradients are a nice touch too.
I'm not sure how the link preview feature works - I tried a few different kinds of pages with links without ever seeing a "show link" button appear. Maybe another extension of mine is interfering or this feature is outdated.
I can see the appeal of the GPA calculator but it's not for me. (it is by semester/quarter) My ideal Canvas extension would have a button on the grades page, to tell you which assignments you must do well on to pass the class, taking into account the weight of different assignment groups and assignments that haven't been graded yet. But that's just an ideal.
To me this extension is worth it for the assignment list alone. I have poor internet speeds where I live, so it is a chore to load Canvas pages just to check due dates.
