How so? No issues for me with gmail, docs or sheets. Former two aren't even very fuzzy about settings but sheets needs to be set to "invert all" or the actual sheet stays white. Check your settings and other extensions.

I see here, that when my gmail account that has the changing backgrounds ever hour, that on occasion, the font text color works through you extention properly, where nothing else does... often leaving me with clashing colors. As for my normal gmail account, I suppose it works properly. As for docs... I have not looked into changing any settings yet.

It's not my extension, I just came in here to report something else and stumbled upon your issue. Anyways, turn of the auto changing backgrounds then, set the default gmail theme or at least something that is light and similar to it. Make sure "kill backgrounds" is not ticked, in my experience that breaks 99% of sites so it's almost not even worth trying - only in a few cases have I seen it actually do something to the background without fucking up the text to the point where it's almost as dark as the background...

I'd recommend smart invert images, Enable Low Contrast and Aggressively Invert Text Input as default settings, seems to work for most sites. Then if a site is being weird it's usually just a case of switching to either "invert all", "keep images normal", or for sites that are dark in the first place, "not inverted". It won't take long before you've found the optimal settings for 99% of the sites you visit and since everything gets saved on a per-site basis after a while you don't really have to think about it anymore. Shame it has to be done on every single computer running chrome, hopefully the rewrite is coming out soon.
