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.
![Creating Scrolling Parallax Effects with CSS]()
Introduction
For quite a long time now websites with the so called "parallax" effect have been really popular.
In case you have not heard of this effect, it basically includes different layers of images that are moving in different directions or with different speed. This leads to a...
![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?
![MooTools Zoomer Plugin]()
I love to look around the MooTools Forge. As someone that creates lots of plugins, I get a lot of joy out of seeing what other developers are creating and possibly even how I could improve them. One great plugin I've found is...
![Printing MooTools Accordion Items]()
Sometimes we're presented with unforeseen problems when it comes to our JavaScript effects. In this case, I'm talking about printing jQuery and MooTools accordions. Each "closed" accordion content element has its height set to 0 which means it will be hidden when the...
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
