How to use this theme
{% markdown %}
You can import this theme from the Web Awesome CDN.
{% set stylesheet = 'styles/themes/' + page.fileSlug + '.css' %}
{% include 'import-stylesheet-code.md.njk' %}
## Dark mode
To activate the dark color scheme of the theme on any element and its contents, apply the class `wa-dark` to it.
This means you can use different color schemes throughout the page.
Here, we use the default theme with a dark sidebar:
```html
```
You can apply the class to the `` element on your page to activate the dark color scheme for the entire page.
```html
```
### Detecting Color Scheme Preference
Web Awesome's themes have both light and dark styles built in.
However, Web Awesome doesn't try to auto-detect the user's light/dark mode preference.
This should be done at the application level.
As a best practice, to provide a dark theme in your app, you should:
- Check for [`prefers-color-scheme`](https://stackoverflow.com/a/57795495/567486) and use its value by default
- Allow the user to override the setting in your app
- Remember the user's preference and restore it on subsequent logins
Web Awesome avoids using the `prefers-color-scheme` media query because not all apps support dark mode, and it would break things for the ones that don't.
Assuming the user's preference is in a variable called `colorScheme` (values: `auto`, `light`, `dark`),
you can use the following JS snippet to apply the `wa-dark` class to the `` element accordingly:
```js
const systemDark = window.matchMedia('(prefers-color-scheme: dark)');
const applyDark = function (event = systemDark) {
const isDark = colorScheme === 'auto' ? event.matches : colorScheme === 'dark';
document.documentElement.classList.toggle('wa-dark', isDark);
};
systemDark.addEventListener('change', applyDark);
applyDark();
```
