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](http://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) 😬 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 😉 ---

@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. ---

Thank you Massimo, noted! ---
