The default setup for the BajanThings website is Light mode. BajanThings have now implemented a Dark mode toggle switch in the header and footer.

You can try out the toggle switch below:

One of our readers reached out with a request: Was there a way to force BajanThings into Dark mode? She explaining that her eyes had deteriorated and had become extremely sensitive to light and that she now relies on dark mode when browsing all websites.

The toggle switch in the header and footer does two things, it:

• detects if your browser is by default set to Dark mode and if so will automatically swap BajanThings into Dark mode and
• allows you to manually swap from the default Light mode into Dark mode. Simply click on the toggle switch to swap to Dark mode. To swap back to Light mode click on the switch again. It’s as simple as that.

Initially the Dark Mode magic was provided by the Dracula Dark Mode plugin by SoftLab. We have now swapped to WP Dark Mode By WPPOOL.

There was a clash with Dracula Dark Mode and Meow Lightbox. There was also clash with WP Dark Mode and Meow Lightbox but it was not as severe.

The issue was that Meow Lightbox displays individual images from a gallery on a dark background. With Dracula Dark Mode and WP Dark Mode where the dark Meow Lightbox background was made light, the white text and forward and backward navigation icons merged into the background and became invisible!

The good news is that this clash has been address and fixed by both Meow and by WP Dark Mode.
