This dark/light mode switch button allows users to toggle between different color schemes on a website, typically dark mode and light mode. Here's what each mode entails:
-
Light Mode ☼
- In the default light mode, the background of the website is usually light, such as white or a pale color, while text and other elements are displayed in darker colors.
- Light mode is the traditional color scheme for most websites and applications.
- Some users may prefer light mode for its familiarity or because they find it easier to read under normal lighting conditions.
-
Dark Mode ☾
- In dark mode, the background of the website is dark or black, and the text and other elements are typically displayed in lighter colors such as white or light gray.
- Dark mode is often preferred by users who find it easier on the eyes, especially in low-light conditions or when viewing screens for extended periods.
- It can also help reduce eye strain and minimize exposure to blue light, which some studies suggest can disrupt sleep patterns.
The button toggles a class on the body element. Yur job is to create the custom dark CSS styles that match your website design.
