how to add a darkmode toggle to switch css and remember it dark mode

So it seems the trend lately is to add darkmode to everything...

Dark Mode

Light Mode

Its actually not that hard to switch style sheets and add a dark version of the same style, it seems to be a bit laggy in switching though as its quite a large script, but it does work.

This was actually harder than i thought, you can just switch out the whole style sheet, but if its a big one it flashes and then loads the alternate one after each page load.

So i had to add a function that replaced the class names with the dark version.

You can view the code here.

Update: actually i never finished this post but i did solve this problem. I originally had one that just switched the style sheet and saved it to local storage (in the browser) as well to remember it.

Code is below... for real this time! 😉

Actually i just realised this was content rather than code, so ill link the code post.

In this case my anchor this week becomes driving almost 2hrs outside of Atlanta to one of my favorite hard core gyms in the world.. MetroFlex aka The Dungeon. The gym owners turn the heat way up so it becomes a fun sweat box and the gym members just watch from afar and leave me alone. I happily drive myself long distances to find MY ANCHOR. Our anchor allows us to have balance, focus and be as productive as possible. And if you're in the middle of a heavy set and your headphones start to fall off your head, like mine did here.. well.. f*ck the headphones. Let em break and fall. You can always get a new pair, but the iron ain't ever gonna lift itself.

Random CSS Property

scroll-margin-block-end

The scroll-margin-block-end property defines the margin of the scroll snap area at the end of the block dimension that is used for snapping this box to the snapport. The scroll snap area is determined by taking the transformed border box, finding its rectangular bounding box (axis-aligned in the scroll container's coordinate space), then adding the specified outsets.
