Installation

You have to install Stylus and then click on the install link below.

Initial configuration

Dark-GitLab works best with default settings as it tries to be uniform across all instances that you might find on the web. Therefore, for the best experience set the following in the preferences on instances you’re logged in:

Set syntax highlighting theme set to white
Set navigation theme to indigo

To customize colors and/or other features, follow these instructions:

Open the Stylus extension popup while you’re on any page Dark-GitLab is active on, or from the Manage page in Stylus. Click on the cogwheel icon and that’ll open up a menu from which you can customize the available options.
Additionally, install dark-switcher if you’d like to quickly switch between various pre-defined color-schemes.

Other ways to install this userstyle

Supported but not recommended.

Userstyle managers that don’t support stylus-lang but support UserCSS

Just install from gitlab.user.css file using this link.

Stylish is only supported through userstyles.org

USo is still the largest repository for themes despite all the issues. Don’t use this version unless you absolutely have to.

It only has core functionality, is (likely) outdated, has no support, and needs to be manually compiled for every single update.
