A Dark Mode guide - with CSS variables and JS

This was first published January 2022, but has been completely rewritten and updated in 2024!

This guide is aimed to make displaying dark mode more accessible and stable. I had a long talk with a user of one of my themes, who has some eyesight difficulties, I wanted to improve on accessibility in my themes - beginning with a better dark mode experience.

What we want

When selected, dark theme to stay dark when refreshing a page

To prevent default (light) theme from flashing before displaying dark mode when browsing

If a visitor has dark mode on their computer/device, honor their preference and display dark mode with the option to turn on light mode

a snappy transition(!) - with a way to override it though!

Why to migrate Opencart to Woocommerce?

Migrating from OpenCart to WooCommerce can offer a range of strategic advantages for businesses looking to scale, modernize, and optimize their online presence. WooCommerce, being a WordPress-based platform, provides a more user-friendly interface, making it easier for non-technical users to manage products, orders, and content. Its deep integration with WordPress also opens up a vast ecosystem of plugins, themes, and SEO tools that can significantly enhance site functionality and visibility. Compared to OpenCart, WooCommerce offers greater flexibility for customization, better support for content marketing, and more frequent updates driven by a large and active developer community. Additionally, WooCommerce is highly scalable and supported by a vast range of payment gateways, shipping options, and third-party integrations. For businesses focused on growth, user experience, and long-term sustainability, transitioning to WooCommerce is a strategic move that aligns with modern e-commerce trends and customer expectations.

I've been thinking a lot about the question about what would do differently if starting WP now, the column names was the first answer, I think my "slept on it" answer would be having "starters" separate from plugins and themes that configure them, and we could have a directory and community around.

Animate On Scroll

I added a bunch of recommended firefox extensions, and it caused youtube to implode entirely. I can't watch any videos anymore, the screen is just black. There appears to be a single frame of some youtube popup about ad-blockers but I can only see it for a split second when I refresh the page so I haven't been able to read what it says. I guess it's the same one that used to show up when they started cracking down on ublock origin, but now the popup is immediately hidden by my plugins and the video player refuses to function. I've said it before, and I stand by it now, I would rather give up desktop youtube than go back to ads. I've been using youtube since at least 2007, but they've finally driven me away. I still have access to it via newpipe on my phone, but this means I have one less distraction on my laptop. They really asked me to choose between loyalty to firefox and loyalty to google as if I wasn't ready to drop them like a fucking rock.

Good riddance!

None Is Now not Nothing: Exploring the Vitality of Null Recordsdata for Enhanced Belief What is the flexibility of null information? None Is Now not Nothing: Exploring the Vitality of Null Recordsdata for Enhanced Belief By plan of filling in information, it’s straight forward to set a “none” or “N/A” into a spreadsheet or database. As a rule, this information has very miniature meaning and might per chance presumably per chance presumably be sophisticated to work with. However, in this day’s information-driven world, null information might per chance presumably per chance presumably be lawful as indispensable because the precise numbers. Right here, we can detect how null information can present extra perception into a mission or wretchedness and the plan it might presumably per chance presumably be former to develop a much bigger general thought. The Fee of Null Recordsdata Null

Combining forces, GSAP & Webflow!

Combining forces, GSAP & Webflow!

Change can certainly be scary whenever a beloved, independent software library becomes a part of a larger organization. I’m feeling a bit more excitement than concern this time around, though.

If you haven’t heard, GSAP (GreenSock Animation Platform) is teaming up with the visual website builder, Webflow. This mutually beneficial advancement not only brings GSAP’s powerful animation capabilities to Webflow’s graphical user interface but also provides the GSAP team the resources necessary to take development to the next level.

GSAP has been independent software for nearly 15 years (since the Flash and ActionScript days!) primarily supported by Club GSAP memberships, their paid tiers which offer even more tools and plugins to enhance GSAP further. GSAP is currently used on more than 12 million websites.

I chatted with Cassie Evans — GSAP’s Lead Bestower of Animation Superpowers and CSS-Tricks contributor — who confidently expressed that GSAP will remain available for the wider web.

It’s a big change, but we think it’s going to be a good one – more resources for the core library, more people maintaining the GSAP codebase, money for events and merch and community support, a VISUAL GUI in the pipeline.

The Webflow community has cause for celebration as well, as direct integration with GSAP has been a wishlist item for a while.

The webflow community is so lovely and creative and supportive and friendly too. It’s a good fit.

I’m so happy for Jack, Cassie, and Rodrigo, as well as super excited to see what happens next. If you don’t want to take my word for it, check out what Brody has to say about it.

I'm sick of Ruffle and I want an authentic Flash Player experience without having to deal with that orange playbutton garbage or even the loading screen. Does anybody know how to modify the code for Flash Player into an even better version of Ruffle with a more accurate look and feel?
