It look great, but I prefer to use white theme because I can see and identify the words easily. But still black theme is great!

Wow! That's great. I'm really a youtube addict and I really find it cool. It would really help me watch videos much longer without affecting my eyes too much. I just tried it on my phone and it works and just found out that my Youtube is not yet updated. So I updated it a moment ago. This is so nice. Thank you so much for sharing!

Agree with you, not only you can do on your smartphone that now you can enable this feature on your computer from your browser when you are watching Youtube videos.

Heh, I would just go to the main site and pick night mode over there, but the app would make YouTube look much better on the smartphone. Although the image you show under step 3 is looks like it's the original looking YouTube website. Now I am starting to wonder, is this to put night mode on for the website or the app? Or both?
