Utilities Module

Auto Dark Mode

Auto Dark Mode automatically switches your website between light and dark color schemes based on the visitor's operating system preference. When a user has dark mode enabled on their device, your site automatically displays in dark mode without them needing to toggle anything. The module uses the CSS prefers-color-scheme media query that all modern browsers support. You define your dark mode color variables and styles, and the module handles the automatic switching. This provides a better experience for users who prefer dark interfaces, especially when browsing at night, while requiring no action from visitors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to create the dark mode styles myself?

Yes, you define your dark mode CSS variables or styles in the module settings. The module handles detecting preference and applying the correct stylesheet, but design choices are yours.

Can users override the automatic detection?

This module focuses on automatic detection. For a manual toggle option, you would need additional JavaScript or a complementary feature to store user preference.
