It utilizes a checkbox to toggle between light and dark themes, enhancing user experience by adjusting the website&#8217;s color scheme with a smooth transition.<\/p>\n<p>You can use this code in your web projects to quickly add a user-friendly dark mode feature. It improves accessibility by allowing users to <a href=\"https:\/\/codehim.com\/vanilla-javascript\/light-dark-theme-toggle-with-css-and-javascript\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">switch between light and dark themes<\/a>, enhancing readability in different lighting conditions.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Create Easy Dark Mode Using CSS<\/h2>\n<p>1. Begin by setting up the HTML structure. Add an input element of type <code>\"checkbox\"<\/code> with the id <code>\"switcher\"<\/code> within your HTML document. This checkbox will serve as the switch for toggling between light and dark modes. Make sure to wrap your website content inside a container, such as a <code>&lt;div&gt;<\/code>, with a class name, like &#8220;body,&#8221; as shown in the provided code.<\/p>\n<pre class=\"prettyprint linenums lang-html\">&lt;input type=\"checkbox\" id=\"switcher\"&gt;\r\n&lt;div class=\"body\"&gt;\r\n\t&lt;article&gt;\r\n\r\n\t\t&lt;h1&gt;Hello World&lt;\/h1&gt;\r\n\t\t&lt;p&gt;Your content goes here.&lt;\/p&gt;\r\n\t&lt;\/article&gt;\r\n&lt;\/div&gt;<\/pre>\n<p>2. Next, let&#8217;s style our website using CSS. Ensure your website takes up the full viewport height and remove any default margin by applying the styles to the &#8220;body&#8221; tag. Customize the padding for your content within the &#8220;article&#8221; element to suit your design preferences.<\/p>\n<pre class=\"prettyprint linenums lang-css\">body {\r\n  min-height: 100vh;\r\n  margin: 0;\r\n}\r\n\r\narticle {\r\n  padding: 5em;\r\n}\r\n\r\n.body {\r\n  display: flex;\r\n  flex-direction: column;\r\n  width: 100%;\r\n  height: 100%;\r\n  min-height: 100vh;\r\n  background: white;\r\n  background-color: var(--bg-color, #fff);\r\n  color: var(--color, #000);\r\n  transition: 250ms;\r\n}\r\n\r\n#switcher {\r\n  position: absolute;\r\n  -webkit-appearance: none;\r\n     -moz-appearance: none;\r\n          appearance: none;\r\n  top: 1rem;\r\n  right: 1rem;\r\n  width: 4em;\r\n  height: 2em;\r\n  background-color: var(--color, #000);\r\n  border-radius: 2em;\r\n  font-size: 20px;\r\n}\r\n#switcher::after {\r\n  position: absolute;\r\n  top: 0.25em;\r\n  left: 0.25em;\r\n  width: 1.5em;\r\n  height: 1.5em;\r\n  content: \"\";\r\n  background-color: var(--bg-color, #fff);\r\n  border-radius: 2em;\r\n  transform: translateX(var(--translate, 0));\r\n  transition: 250ms;\r\n}\r\n#switcher:checked {\r\n  --translate: 2em;\r\n  --bg-color: #424242;\r\n  --color: #81d4fa;\r\n}\r\n#switcher:checked ~ * {\r\n  --bg-color: #424242;\r\n  --color: #81d4fa;\r\n}<\/pre>\n<p>That&#8217;s all! hopefully, you have successfully integrated this easy Dark Mode using CSS.
