Updated

Flip the Legacy Dark Mode toggle, watch ChatGPT swap from pure black to the original gray.

Quick answer

ChatGPT switched its dark mode from a softer gray background to a pure-black OLED palette. The new look is harsh on non-OLED LCD displays and erases the visual separation between sidebar, composer, and chat. Legacy Dark Mode in GPT Master flips ChatGPT back to its original gray dark mode in one click, with no other ChatGPT behavior altered. Toggle it on once and the change persists across tabs and reloads.

Frequently asked

Questions people have before they install

These questions cover fit, workflow, and what to expect before installing GPT Master, so people can understand the feature in practical terms before clicking through to the Chrome Web Store.

What is Legacy Dark Mode?

Legacy Dark Mode is a toggle in GPT Master that restores ChatGPT's original gray dark-mode background. ChatGPT moved to a pure-black OLED palette in a recent update; this setting strips that change so the softer gray returns inside chatgpt.com.

Is it free?

Yes. The toggle is part of the GPT Master free tier with no weekly or monthly cap.

Will Legacy Dark Mode keep working if ChatGPT updates?

The toggle targets the page attribute ChatGPT uses to enable the OLED palette. If ChatGPT changes how that attribute is set, GPT Master updates the toggle to match. The setting itself stays where it is in Quick Controls.
