How to enable 'dark mode' on Jomsocial? Right now we have the socialise template but jomsocial itself isn't dark. When doing research we saw the there was a template for Dark, but we are now unable to find where to download it, or is there a switch somewhere in there?

justauser Hi

That option is from very old version of JomSocial, with dark/light theme, it will now depend on the style of Joomla template you're using.

For Socialize template, you can go to Backend >> System >> Site Template Styles >> open style of Socialize template >> and change to theme you wish under 'Theme' tab:

There are also other templates supporting dark theme, pls check out the collection here: https://www.jomsocial.com/joomla-social-templates

Thank you. We have socialize in dark mode but jomsocial is still white... 🙁

    justauser This is quite old template which doesn't support fully dark mode as we have now and that's why I share the link of other templates supporting JomSocial, you can take a look.

    Ahh thank you, which one would you recommend in that case?

    You can check demo sites of them and select one that suits your needs.

    I did take a look but am not seeing any that are 'dark' and I dont see a way to access the admin panel to explore the options etc 🙁

    That would have been good if it didn't ask me to subscribe again lol
    Any that are free with jomsocial? This is all been a bit of a headache for me and I assume you just trying to get this to look right :/

    And none of the ones that are free with jomsocial have a darkmode? .oO

      justauser The dark mode is actually additional style of template and it's supported by some template specific. Unfortunately, these templates in JomSocial directory don't have this mode. You will need to customize style a bit to achieve that.

      Aww that is unfortunate - this could be added maybe? Darkmode is an option that most websites have these days 🙁
      I have no idea how to code this. I am sure it could be simple enough for someone experienced, so would it be a problem to be added? 🙂

      Good Topic,
      I use a product called, 'Dark Reader' (for Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge) on my browser. It properly darkens the view..
      [https://darkreader.org/](https://)

      A new Jomsocial theme released in May supports the Dark style: https://js-game.demo.jomsocial.com/ you can check it out.

      In case you want to customize to have dark style for JomSocial, I can refer you to one of our versatile developers who can assist with the customization. Let me know if you're interested.

        saguaros Yes, thats a neat 'new' theme - but it's just DARK - is there a switch to turn it on and off? that's what Jomsocial needs..

          saguaros - thank you for the response - extnbakers produces a dark mode mod - that when installed produces a switch that actually does, try to turn Jomsocial into dark mode.. However, it only has three colors, the screen looks, 'ok' but not as good as using Dark Reader on the browser. I'll survive...
