Dark Mode in One Line of Code!
Dark mode has seemingly become the desired visual mode for websites and mobile apps alike. Dark mode is easier on the eyes, especially for those like me who like to burn the midnight oil by coding and reading tutorials. Unfortunately not all websites offer dark mode, so it's up to me to remedy the situation.
Though it's not a true "dark mode", you can use CSS' filter to create dark mode of your own:
html {
filter: invert(1);
}
Inverting colors completely via 1 will make that light-themed website much more comfortable on your eyes. It's important to realize that developers shouldn't consider this a long-term solution, as it's a quite lazy remedy and doesn't lend well to branding.
![Introducing MooTools Templated]()
One major problem with creating UI components with the MooTools JavaScript framework is that there isn't a great way of allowing customization of template and ease of node creation. As of today, there are two ways of creating:

![LightFace: Facebook Lightbox for MooTools]()
One of the web components I've always loved has been Facebook's modal dialog. This "lightbox" isn't like others: no dark overlay, no obnoxious animating to size, and it doesn't try to do "too much." With Facebook's dialog in mind, I've created LightFace: a Facebook lightbox...
![CSS Gradients]()
With CSS border-radius, I showed you how CSS can bridge the gap between design and development by adding rounded corners to elements. CSS gradients are another step in that direction. Now that CSS gradients are supported in Internet Explorer 8+, Firefox, Safari, and Chrome...
![Color Palette Generator Using jQuery]()
As I continue to learn jQuery, I think it's important that I begin by porting over scripts I've created using MooTools. One of those scripts is my Color Palette Generator script, which debuted on Eric Wendelin's blog. For those of you that...
Nice trick !
I would add exactly the same on all images with
img { filter: invert(1); }Then you are even closer to a dark mode ;)
oh god no
I just tried it here and it worked, Thanks for the info.
here is the code I used:
document.querySelector('html').style.filter = 'invert(1)'I love filter for this! You can also make the inversion less harsh by adding to the filter list:
/* Use hue-rotate for optional color adjustment */ html { filter: invert(1) contrast(0.95) saturate(0.5) hue-rotate(180deg);Never EVER use this trick other than for a quick preview.
CSS filters on large areas are really bad for scrolling performance.
This isn’t quite dark mode. This is just an invert which makes images look like crap. Still, neat trick.
Thanks
