Since I started using glasses nine years ago, I've been struggling with reading stuff online, or more precisely, with watching any kind of content with a white background, mostly because even if I have a tiny particle in the glass, I will start noticing it right away and that is very bothersome. A couple of months back I started noticing a trend in which most web apps started releasing Dark / Night Modes versions of their UI, and that's awesome because it allows me to enjoy the content without getting bothered by my glasses. Also, I get less blue light, so it doesn't mess (that much) my sleep clock. However, one day I saw Sandoche's widget and thought that having a version for WordPress would be awesome, mostly because 35% of the internet is powered by it, and I use it a lot. I adapted the widget so it could work with most WordPress based websites and added a settings page so even non-coders could customize it as much as they wanted. It's 100% free, GPL, open-source and everything else, so I hope you guys can enjoy it as much as I do, and maybe one day all WordPress sites will offer a Dark Mode widget to make all of our lives easier :D Do you think that Dark Modes are useful?

I just tried it, liked it. Gives a nice dark look. Only complaint can be that the borders of the sections vanish, I wish it had some slight colour difference on borders.

@nikhilw3 thank you for trying it out and taking the time to leave a review! I'm not sure that that can be done, mostly because of how the implementation of the dark mode works, but will see if there is a option to solve this issue. Cheers!

@jose_sotelo_cohen I thought as much. It is good even without it, I was nitpicking! Great work. :)
