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:

![CSS Filters]()
CSS filter support recently landed within WebKit nightlies. CSS filters provide a method for modifying the rendering of a basic DOM element, image, or video. CSS filters allow for blurring, warping, and modifying the color intensity of elements. Let's have...
![Using Dotter for Form Submissions]()
One of the plugins I'm most proud of is Dotter. Dotter allows you to create the typical "Loading..." text without using animated images. I'm often asked what a sample usage of Dotter would be; form submission create the perfect situation. The following...
![MooTools FontChecker Plugin]()
There's a very interesting piece of code on Google Code called FontAvailable which does a jQuery-based JavaScript check on a string to check whether or not your system has a specific font based upon its output width. I've ported this functionality to MooTools.
The MooTools...
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
