This method is only for text only documents. Otherwise the image colors will be inverted.



You can install Evince document viewer from this link and open it.Then goto the options on the top right corner as seen in the picture.



enter image description here



Then select Inverted colors. This will help you to read white text on a black background.

                          xcalib -i -a


                          This inverts all the screen , everywhere. So no need to find if a particular software have this feature or not.
                          I can set a hotkey and now whenever I want dark mode I just need to press the Hotkey, works even for browser.



                          Installation



                          sudo apt-get install xcalib
