I was using the proper CSS query to target those who had system-wide dark mode enabled, but I found that the code had far too many caveats and targeted too many custom classes. - -So I thought to myself, "There *has* to be a simpler way..." - -## Introducing Dark Mode - The Lazy Way - -Here is the default dark mode for my current website in all it's glory: - - - @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) { - body{background:#2d2d2d;filter:invert(1);} - img,.cp_embed_wrapper,pre{filter:invert(1);} - } - - -Not much to look at, eh? Well, let's still break it down. - -First we set the `body` to use a nice dark background color (avoid using `#000000` directly since that can cause some minor eye strain). Next we tell the browser to invert all the child elements by using `filter:invert(1)`. At this point, you could consider your work done - but there are some edge case elements... - -## Images, CodePens & Code - Oh My! - -Most of my articles on this site will include either an image(s), embedded CodePen examples or code snippets directly in the page. For these elements we probably *don't* want to invert their color/text etc. All we need to do is run the filter property on these a second time (*after* the main `body` attribute): - - - @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) { - img,.cp_embed_wrapper,pre{filter:invert(1);} - } - - -Of course, YMMV depending on what other custom elements you want to avoid inverting. - -## Minor Caveats - -I should mention that since my website doesn't use any custom coloring for anchor links, inverting `ahref` elements works out of the box. Certain projects might still require some custom overrides if the inverted version of a certain custom color looks poor. - -That's it - enjoy being lazy! -- cgit v1.2.3-54-g00ecf
