This theme supports Dark mode and can be configured in in _data/site.yml
# _data/site.yml
darkmode:
enable_dark_mode: true
show_dark_mode_toggle_in_header: true
show_dark_mode_toggle_in_bottom: false # displays the dark mode toggle switch in the footer and allows the user to manually change the mode
show_dark_mode_toggle_in_mobile_menu: false # displays the dark mode toggle switch in the footer and allows the user to manually change the mode
Darkmode detects the users OS dark mode preferences automatically. We use prefers-color-scheme
(Mozilla Docs - prefers color scheme) to achieve this.
Try changing your dark mode preference in OSX.
If a user specifically toggles to dark or light mode this preference will be remembered and will override the system preference. This setting is stored in the users sessionStorage (Mozilla Docs - sessionStorage) which means the preference is remembered across pages and page reloads, until the user closes their browser or clears their cache.
