Previously, we usually had a light theme for our web and mobile platforms. But now, dark mode is gaining popularity. Many desktop and mobile app platforms are embracing the dark theme because it is more comfortable to look at and saves battery life on mobile devices.
This blog will teach you how to create Toggle Button in Dark/Light Mode HTML and CSS. In my recent blog post, I have provided Top 10 Website Templates Design, which could also enhance your skills in HTML CSS as well as JavaScript.
Although the light theme has some benefits, many people still need to learn to use dark-themed websites. Therefore, it would be advisable to provide users with the ability to switch between dark and light modes in web applications. This way, they can choose the theme that works best for them.
A toggle button is a user interface element that allows users to switch between two states, such as on and off. In the context of dark and light modes, a toggle button would be used to switch between the two color schemes. Toggle buttons can be found on many web pages and apps, such as the wifi toggle button on Windows.
In the provided image of the Dark/Light Toggle Button, the button is in the “off” or “closed” state because the blue circle is on the left side. Additionally, the background is blue, indicating that the current color scheme is the light mode. When the toggle button is clicked, the blue circle moves to the right side, and the color scheme changes to the dark mode, as indicated by the change in color of the background and the toggle button.
If you’re curious about how the Dark/Light Toggle Button works, take a look at the preview I have provided below. I have explained the HTML and CSS code I used to make this Toggle Button and its Dark/Light Mode.
