Overview
Bright pages can be tiring to read, especially at night or in dim rooms. Some visitors also have sensitivities to bright light or visual impairments that make a single fixed color scheme hard to use. The plugin gives each visitor a toggle to choose the mode that feels comfortable, so the choice sits with the reader.
When a visitor switches modes, the plugin inverts and optimizes colors for text, backgrounds and interface elements so content stays sharp. Site owners can adjust the toggle design and color schemes to match their brand. It remembers the mode each visitor picked last, and it is built for WordPress, working with most themes and plugins and across desktops, tablets and smartphones.
Features
- Light and dark mode toggle: Visitors get a toggle on the page and can switch between light and dark themes whenever they like, whatever the lighting around them.
- Automatic color adjustment: Colors are inverted and optimized automatically, so text and visuals stay readable and the strain of long browsing sessions is reduced.
- Customizable appearance settings: Site owners can fine-tune the toggle design and color schemes so the mode switch fits their brand identity and style preferences.
