Overview

Miss Twitter's Dim theme? On February 12, 2026, X removed the beloved dark blue Dim mode that millions of users preferred over the harsh Lights Out black. DimTwit brings it back — instantly.


WHAT IT DOES

DimTwit replaces X's Lights Out (pure black) theme with the original Dim dark blue palette (#15202B). Just keep X set to dark mode and DimTwit handles the rest. No configuration needed.


14 BEAUTIFUL THEMES

Go beyond the original Dim with 13 additional hand-crafted color themes:

  • Dim (original Twitter dark blue)
  • Nord, Solarized, Dracula, Gruvbox
  • Tokyo Night, Catppuccin, Monokai
  • Rose Pine, Synthwave, Everforest
  • One Dark, Kanagawa, Charcoal


Each theme features its own accent-tinted borders and hover states — not just different background shades.


KEY FEATURES

  • Restores the authentic Dim theme with exact original colors
  • 14 selectable themes with unique visual identities
  • Instant toggle — switch themes or disable without reloading the page
  • Works on x.com, twitter.com, and pro.x.com
  • Zero performance impact — pure CSS overrides, no network requests
  • No tracking, no analytics, no ads, no data collection
  • Lightweight: under 50KB total


HOW TO USE

  1. Set X/Twitter to dark mode (Lights Out)
  2. Install DimTwit
  3. Click the DimTwit icon in your toolbar
  4. Select your preferred theme — done!


Click any active theme to disable DimTwit and return to Lights Out.


PRIVACY

DimTwit stores only your theme preference locally in your browser. It makes zero network requests and collects zero data. No analytics, no tracking, no ads — ever.

Why I Decided to Make This

Twitter/X's bright theme seriously hurts my eyes. Their dark theme has a solid back background and bright white text. Looking at a page like that burns horizontal lines onto my retina that lasts a good 15 minutes after reading a page like that for less than a minute.
