Pchew finally!
So there are dark themes now for the mobile app! But nothing so far for the awesome non-install web verison!
Gist to the rescue! Maarten Trompper created a user script to change the styles on the telegram page. But it was for the pre-Quantum Greasemonkey it seems. They actually removed the greasemonkey function GM_addStyle used in there!
Luckily it's nothing that can't be done from within the script itself. Here PaarCrafter provided a snipped on how to do that.

How to install:

1. you need greasemonkey
2. click the raw button of this gist, hit install
3. if that doesn't work: two ways:
   • open about:config tab
   • search security.csp.enable, disable it
   • call the raw script again
   • enable security.csp.enable again
     • (for some reason content from gist cannot be installed ...)
   • or
   • copy the raw code
   • hit the monkey button > New user script ... > paste, save
4. Reload the telegram tab, Voilà!
