I'm aware of the prefers-color-scheme stuff added to browsers. AFAICT, only Firefox supports setting it at the browser level, while others will inherit from the system.
This would still remove the visitors ability to say "I want THIS SITE to be in light/dark mode", without affecting all other sites / apps on their system. This page could support reading from the browser/OS, while still giving the choice on top of that.
Again, this choice was probably implemented ... to give the user a choice.
- adrianmsmith 6y agoMay I ask (genuine question), why would anyone need a choice per site? Surely some people are “light mode” people and want everything in that mode and others are “dark mode” people?
- mountainboot 6y agoNot me, I like both modes. Often I will have one text editor in dark mode and another in light mode.
- dnissley 6y agoSometimes one implementation or the other just plain sucks -- typically it's bad dark mode implementations that obviously were just afterthoughts.
- mikewhy 6y agoSome people are "light mode" people, and some are "dark mode". Some people may not want everything to be light or dark mode. I am one of them. Some articles may not work well with dark mode.
- obedm 6y agoAs the author of the site, I like switching between the two modes on all websites that support it. Like someone above said, some sites implement it as an after-thought. In my case, I'm giving more love to dark-more because there are simply more nice color combinations in dark more than with white.
