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.
![fetch API]()
One of the worst kept secrets about AJAX on the web is that the underlying API for it, XMLHttpRequest, wasn't really made for what we've been using it for. We've done well to create elegant APIs around XHR but we know we can do better. Our effort to...
![Page Visibility API]()
One event that's always been lacking within the document is a signal for when the user is looking at a given tab, or another tab. When does the user switch off our site to look at something else? When do they come back?
![dwImageProtector Plugin for jQuery]()
I've always been curious about the jQuery JavaScript library. jQuery has captured the hearts of web designers and developers everywhere and I've always wondered why. I've been told it's easy, which is probably why designers were so quick to adopt it NOT that designers...
![jQuery Link Nudging]()
A few weeks back I wrote an article about MooTools Link Nudging, which is essentially a classy, subtle link animation achieved by adding left padding on mouseover and removing it on mouseout. Here's how to do it using jQuery:

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
