Only dark mode

If you prefer only dark mode in your theme:

Add below attribute in your html tag in all HTML files.
```
<html lang="en" data-bs-theme="dark">
```
Remove darkmode script from head tag.

Only light mode (Remove dark mode)

To remove dark mode from theme, follow below steps:

Add below line in _user-variables.scss file while running gulp.
```
$enable-dark-mode:            false; 
```
Remove switcher code from all HTML files
Remove darkmode script from head tag. (Optional but recommended)

Note: If you are not working with gulp, you can skip 1st step..

Dark mode customization

Modify Dark colors using SCSS

You can find all the variables used to create the dark mode in assets/scss/_dark-mode.scss file. If you want to override a variable, copy that variable to your assets/scss/_user.scss file and update it as per your need. When you change the variable with scss, make sure that the gulp is running.

Note:Sometimes brand primary colors do not readable in dark mode, so we have provided option to set different primary colors for dark mode. As we provide in our demo site. To change dark mode primary color go to _user.scss file and follow the instruction.

Modify Dark colors using CSS

You can find all the CSS variables used to create the dark mode in assets/css/style.css file. Look for the selector data-bs-theme="dark" and you will see all the available variables. If you want to override a variable, copy that variable to your custom.css file and update it as per your need.

Dark mode items

You can show or hide any elements in dark or light mode. Use .light-mode-item for elements that you want to show in light mode only. Use.dark-mode-item for elements that you want to show in dark mode only. See below example that we have used for theme logo.

<img class="light-mode-item" src="assets/images/logo.svg" alt="logo">
<img class="dark-mode-item" src="assets/images/logo-light.svg" alt="logo">
