Make extension add dark mode to Google Calendar #156

Google Calendar does not have dark mode natively

Our extension could add dark mode to Google Calendar

Two issues with this:

  1. Google Calendar class names are minified and change from time to time, making this feature quite unstable
  2. Google Chrome includes an automatic dark mode feature (https://www.reddit.com/r/chrome/comments/gvavod/chromeflagsenableforcedark_for_those_of_you_who/ - I use the "Enabled with selective inversion of everything" and it's pretty good), and there are browser extensions tailored to this that do that
  3. There are portals where users share their css files for different sites.

Thus this feature in google calendar would be redundant, and might come at a high maintenance cost. While it would be a cool feature to have from the marketing standpoint (would be nearly as eye catching as having charts), it might be better to educate users that options are available if they desire
