Dark Mode by GracePress includes anti-flash loading, operating-system preference support, visual tuning, media correction, transitions, and accessible controls that can be placed where a site needs them.

Project status

Version 4.8.18 is the mature public-development baseline. The plugin is being documented, reviewed, and tested for submission to WordPress.org. Version 5.0.0 is reserved for the deliberate first supported public release.

The source is public and may be inspected, cloned, or downloaded from this repository. There is no official public installation package yet. Candidate packages remain limited to controlled testing until the public release is ready.

Features

Device-theme, scheduled, light, or dark first-visit behavior.
Remembered visitor choice with anti-flash startup synchronization.
Brightness, contrast, and media-dimming controls.
Media correction for images, video, and fullscreen playback.
Fade, horizontal wipe, vertical wipe, iris, and zoom transitions.
Floating, menu, shortcode, administrator-bar, and keyboard controls.
Independent frontend and WordPress administration enablement.
Page, selector, and custom-CSS compatibility controls.

Requirements

WordPress 6.0 or newer.
PHP 7.4 or newer.

Privacy and integrations

The public plugin contains no telemetry, private update connection, license server, or required external service.

GracePress Central Hub routing and OmniLog events are optional local integrations. They are used only when those plugins are already installed and active; neither is required.

Installation

The official installation route will be published here and on the public plugin page after the WordPress.org release is ready. See readme.txt for WordPress plugin documentation.

Reporting problems

Use the Gitea Issues page for reproducible bugs, compatibility reports, and feature requests. A free Git account is required to submit an issue. Read SUPPORT.md before reporting a problem.

Contributing

Public contributions are welcome through issues and pull requests. Read CONTRIBUTING.md before proposing a change.

Historical versions

The changelog preserves the established GracePress development history, including conservative reconstructed entries for versions recovered from archived packages and rollback copies. Versions before 5.0.0 were internal development iterations and are not represented as supported public releases.
