How It Works

1. Checks user’s saved preference
2. Falls back to system preference (OS dark mode)
3. User can toggle anytime with the floating button
4. Choice is saved for future visits

Styling

The plugin applies sensible dark mode defaults. To customize, add CSS to your theme:

body.mdm-dark {
    background-color: #121212 !important;
    color: #ffffff !important;
}
