WordPress Dark Mode

Despite being ingrained in me that black text on white gives the best visuals for reading, I’ve become accustomed to white on black recently. A dark blackground is less harsh on my eyes… to the point where white backgrounds burn my eyes, esp at night or in indoor environments where I mostly operate.

Just installed the WP Dark Mode plugin here and it instantly makes my vision more comfortable. It doesn’t seem to apply to post creation though as I’m squinting to type this.

Found the plugin by searching “dark” in the plugins search function on the WP admin portal. It allows visitors to choose between white/dark mode with a moon icon in the lower right hand corner. On the admin portal, after you activate the plugin and go to settings to enable dark mode for the admin portal as well as for visitors. The white mode version of the admin portal still loads initially which then promptly gets replaced by a dark mode version.
