People are saying it doesn't change the page color but you can do that already by going to File > Page Setup and select a color. The contrast isn't great, but that is because it is sort of hard to change the icon colors, because they are SVG's. You would have to edit every single SVG file to my knowledge. You could probably have a JS file to cycle through all the icons, but I guess the creator of this didn't think of that. Overall a simple extension that gets the job done.
