Copy link to headline:Dark mode

Per default, onyx will be displayed in light mode. In order to use the dark mode, simply set the class dark once on the root of your application, e.g. on <html> or <body>.

Copy link to headline:Let the user decide

In order to let the user switch between light, dark and auto mode, we recommend to use the pre-built OnyxColorSchemeMenuItem(opens in a new tab) component inside the nav bar(opens in a new tab) together with the @vueuse/core(opens in a new tab) library.

Additionally, to enable a smooth transition when switching between color modes, you can use the useThemeTransition composable. This ensures a visually appealing effect during theme changes. Below is an example implementation:

Alternatively, you can use the OnyxColorSchemeDialog(opens in a new tab) component to build your own custom component.
