Generally those are specific to a style... bothof mine with PixelExit that I use have the ability to switch between two defined styles (usually a light & dark version of the same style). It is not built into XF, as is evident by the "night vision" style I created based off the default style.I have seen other forums with a button in the top right hand corner to enable dark mode for nightime viewing.
XF 2.3 - A first look at XenForo 2.3
Well, here we are with our first Have you seen thread for XenForo 2.3. It's been a long time coming, and for various reasons that we will go into later, it has changed quite a bit from what we had originally intended it to be, but it's finally ready to start showing you what's new. tl;dr...xenforo.com
Have you got a Dark theme set-up and ready to go?Instead of creating a new thread I'll just ask here. This video was 6 months ago, where dark mode was talked about:
Until 2.3 is released, can we just use an addon so that users can see a dark mode button somewhere? Or perhaps it's included in some themes? I'm something of a newb. Thank you

No worries mate.Not yet, I'm trying to come up with some kind of toggle switch for users. Some people like the lighter themes, and I don't want to force a dark theme on those people. I'd like to start with a light theme, then when the people who like dark mode go hunting for it, they can easily find it.
