The DarkMode extension adds a link to toggle a dark mode theme.
InstallationEdit
- Download and place the file(s) in a directory called
DarkModein yourextensions/folder. - Add the following code at the bottom of your
LocalSettings.php:wfLoadExtension( 'DarkMode' );
- Configure as required.
Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
ConfigurationEdit
The following configuration variables can be set from your LocalSettings.php file:
- $wgDarkModeTogglePosition - specifies where the dark mode toggle link should be placed. Possible values are:
personal(default) – next to the user talk page link in personal URLs.footer– in the footer, usually after the "Disclaimer" link.sidebar– in the sidebar within the navigation portlet.
CSS customizationEdit
Dark Mode 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 modeEdit
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 modeEdit
Dark Mode adds the .client-dark-mode CSS class to the HTML element. If you want to change the way some elements look in dark mode, just prefix the selector with .client-dark-mode.
