Useful and very lightweight plugin

by Jaro·1 year ago·2 replies

I have tested most of dark mode plugins in the public WP repo. Most of them are bloated and load too much JS and CSS, for me absolutely unusable.
After I tried this I stopped testing as it has all the features I need and loads next to nothing. 10KB compressed, that’s hard to beat it.
I hope they will make an update, at least confirming that it is fully working with the current version of WP.

A promising program

Hello,

I tested many plugins before settling on DarkLooks, which is compatible with the latest version of WordPress and easy to learn.

BEST Dark-Mode Plugin

by jenomal·2 years ago·2 replies

I tested several dark mode plugins and found this one to be one of the best. The noteworthy aspect is that it offers numerous settings even in free mode. With a simple switch, it transforms the site into a dark theme. Additionally, it includes a visually appealing switch skin, which i like. 5 stars!

Thank you for making this 🙂

Didn’t work on mobile for me

by DashingDave·2 years ago

Switch appeared in desktop browser (Safari) but not mobile (again, Safari). Don’t know if the function actually works in desktop, because I use Noir, and I’m already in dark mode all the time anyway.

But it definitely didn’t work when viewing my site on my iPad for whatever reason.
