The DarkMode extension adds a link to the top toolbar to toggle a dark mode theme.

Installation

• Download and place the file(s) in a directory called DarkMode in your extensions/ folder.
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php:

  wfLoadExtension( 'DarkMode' );
  

•  Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

Configuration

Dark Modes works by adding the CSS filter: invert( 1 ) hue-rotate( 180deg ) to the HTML element, and then applies some refinements to MediaWiki UI elements.

Excluding elements from dark mode

On your wiki, you can add the mw-no-invert CSS class to any element that you don't want inverted. Or you could use the same filter CSS above again, which will invert and rotate the elements back to normal.

Styling elements in dark mode

Dark Mode adds the darkmode CSS class to the HTML element. If you want to change the way some elements look in dark mode, just prefix the selector with .darkmode.
