This is the one to install

Works perfectly! After trying another dark mode plugin that was recommended by the WP Beginner blog, which worked terribly and had a lot of misleading features, this one was a relief.

Small, simple, and effective

If you want your dashboard in Dark Mode and nothing else, this is the plugin you want to use. No fancy stuff, just a small PHP file that loads a CSS file. That's all you really need, don't you?
