Force Dark Mode

Elements
1

Hello forum members and many thanks to the creators of Elements, you clever chaps have made it really easy for non-devs like me.

I’ve crafted my business website (www.home-sapiens.com) using Massimo’s (RWPro) excellent Play template, spending a considerable amount of time setting up colours for the various modules in dark mode which is the only one I want.

I only realised after publishing that if a user’s device is set to light mode, the site switches automatically to light which looks horrible as I haven’t worked at it.

Is there a way to force dark mode, in other words, is there a way of achieving the opposite of what the GUI toggle to ignore dark mode does? Or do I have to do all the work again setting up light mode with the colours as dark mode?

I hope my question makes sense.

Not as far as I know, sorry. You’ll need to go through and apply the dark styling to light mode (if you want it to always be dark) :grimacing:

However, I took a quick look at your site and I don’t think it’d take long to get it looking good in Light Mode. I could probably do it in ~5 minutes if you post the project here via Elements Cloud :wink:

@gconti Please don’t post your project here; Play is a paid project.
If you do, send him a private message. Thank you.

Thank you for the kind offer Dan, it doesn’t seem fair to take any of your time for such trivial issue, I just need to sit down with a little patience.

Maybe a toggle button for Light version too in a future version of Elements (if at all possible) would help others.

Now, I need to work out why none of the contact forms are working.

No problem, the offer is always there if you need the help :blush:
