Default to dark/light mode

[shohamc1]

Right now it does not seem to be possible to set the default theme of the website and the theme depends on the user's browser preferences.

It would be great to add a configuration parameter that allows preferring a dark or light theme, and also completely disabling a theme (only have light mode).

Just a thought: I use dark mode by default in my browser, and there is nothing more annoying than coming across a website that decides to override that user preference, and instead presenting a light mode rendering. It just absolutely kills the eyes when everything else is dark.

+1 to allow the option to choose either light or dark mode. Depending on the usage, light looks more professional.

I would also love to see this option - as dark mode actually better suits the visual style of our application.

I would like to have dark mode by default.

Any news on this?

I came across this problem too. wanted to set the default theme to dark. My solution. add some custom js

• create a folder in the root directory called '_includes'
• inside that folder create a file called head.html
• inside that file add some javscript to set the default theme to dark or light

<script>
if (!window.localStorage.getItem('doc_theme')) {
    window.localStorage.setItem('doc_theme', 'dark');
    location.reload();
}
</script>
