Suggestion: dark mode

This would be a nice addition to the Colors module in GP Premium instead of having to rely on a plugin like https://wordpress.org/plugins/blackout-darkmode-widget/

One really good implementation that has open source code on GitHub is here...
Code: https://github.com/andybelldesign/hylia
Website demo: https://hylia.website/

It assumes the default color scheme of the OS (in Windows I have dark mode applied so the site loads in dark mode) but puts a toggle in the footer.

Another good one is https://mxb.dev/ which has a really cool toggle icon but doesn't load default OS mode. It's also an open source site.

Thanks for that! Appreciate the links :)

Hi Tom, any update on this. I am also interested in having my blog with dark theme by default. Please do let us know if this is in plan and and timeline that you can share with us.

Cheers!

Hi there,

No updates on this yet, but it's still something I'm interested in.

For anyone who was interested:

Tom. are there any updates on this? Now that most major browsers support dark mode :)

Nothing yet :)

It will be really cool to have a dark-mode toggle option which is coming from GeneratePress as an option.

Add me in as another user who would love to see an integrated dark mode option. None of the available wordpress plugins seem lightweight but I've used themes with dark mode built-in and it's so slick.

Hi Eric and Onur,

Sadly, there’s no feature that accommodates to this functionality yet. For now, I would recommend to try David’s recommendation as mentioned above: https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/minimal-starter-template-with-automatic-dark-mode/#post-1109394

Hope this helps! :)
