Reminds me of Helvetimail - I wonder if it still exists somewhere and works with basic HTML gmail?

This is the latest copy I could find --

Sadly, it doesn't work. The CSS used for the simple Gmail is remarkably minimal to a fault for folks like us.

edit: here's an extremely basic Dracula theme you can use with Stylish. As a disclaimer, this is roughly ten minutes worth of work -- I don't doubt that I missed the other 80%.

It's definitely not pretty, but with a little time it wouldn't be too difficult to spruce it up.

I can't edit my comment, but if you're interested in trying out a Dracula theme, check out https://github.com/hello-party/Gmail-Basic-HTML-Dracula

Its still not perfect, but it does show potential for better themes for the basic HTML.
