In case of Windows computers, it is possible to receive Gmail Notifications outside of the browser by Enabling Chrome Notifications in Windows Action Center. On MacBook, Mac Mini or iMac, Gmail Desktop Notifications appear only when you open the Chrome browser on your computer.

Also, in the extension's options, you can select from a variety of dark themes.Also, it is possible to Enable Gmail Desktop Notifications for All Emails or only for Emails marked as important in your Gmail Account. The Dark Mode extension works well with Gmail and lets you compose and read email messages in dark mode.

Click it to enter (and then exit) dark mode for any web page. Install the Dark Mode extension for Chrome and you'll see a little toggle switch gets added in the top right of the browser.

It's also great for Google Drive, which lacks a built-in dark mode option. There is, however, an extension that lets you enable dark mode for any web page, including Gmail. Unlike Gmail, Google's Chrome browser does not feature a built-in dark mode. In both cases, you are greeted by the standard formatting with a bright, white background, which can be jarring when merrily perusing your inbox in dark mode. Neither theme, however, maintains its black background when you open an email or click Compose to start a new message. Scroll down to the section below the photo themes and select either the Dark or Terminal theme.Įither theme provides a black background with white text, but the Terminal theme uses a slightly darker shade of black. To enable dark mode for Gmail, click the gear icon in the top right and choose Themes.
