Overview

About this plugin

SVisciano – Light-Dark Theme Mode allows you to easily create a secondary color variant for your website. Give your users the freedom to switch between your default style and a custom color override with a sleek, modern toggle.

Unlike rigid dark mode plugins, it does not force a predefined style. It works on top of your existing design, meaning your base theme can be either light or dark.

You decide which version is the default, and the plugin handles the secondary variant.

🚀 How It Works

  • Set your Base Theme: Select whether your site is natively Light or Dark.
  • Scan CSS Variables: Automatically detect the color variables used on any page of your site with one click.
  • Map Your Colors: Pair your original color variables with your custom override colors.
  • Display the Switcher: Place the shortcode anywhere on your site to display a beautiful toggle.

🌟 Key Features

  • Flexible Base Theme: Choose Light or Dark as your starting point.
  • Smart Visitor Preferences: Set the starting theme for first-time visitors (including an Auto mode that follows browser preferences).
  • Automatic CSS Variable Scanner: Easily detect color variables on your pages to simplify the mapping process.
  • Instant Search & Filters: Quickly find scanned variables by name or value to speed up your workflow.
  • Total Mapping Control: Map variables automatically or manually enter custom names.
  • Import & Export: Back up your color mappings or transfer them to another site in seconds.
  • Beautiful Toggle Styles: Choose from multiple modern switcher designs (like Minimal Switch or Glass Pill) to match your site’s aesthetic.
  • Shortcode Placement: Place the [SVISCIANO_THEME_SWITCHER] shortcode exactly where you need it.
  • Lightweight & Fast: Pure CSS variable manipulation that doesn’t bloat your site or modify your original design.

Take full control of your website’s secondary theme without being locked into a predefined dark mode system!
