That's it! ChatGPT's dark mode appears more grey than fully dark. If you want to get a completely dark mode, you can enable it using Chrome flags or install a dedicated extension from the Chrome Web Store. That's all!
- If you want to change the theme back to normal, simply go to the same settings and select “light” .
