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?
Dark mode?
So I just found this...
https://documentation.jomsocial.com/wiki/Template_Parameters
However the page on our site is blank and there are no options?
All we get is:
Configuration > Templates
Name Default
Description Default template for JomSocial
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...
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
You can try JA Conf template: https://www.joomlart.com/joomla/templates/ja-conf
- Edited
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 :/
You're right, with your 'JS Pro' membership, you can have access to templates + themes listed here: https://www.joomlart.com/member/downloads/jomsocial
JA Conf template will require JA Pro membership or upgrade to Ultimate Developer membership.
And none of the ones that are free with jomsocial have a darkmode? .oO
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?
There are a couple of plugins on the JED that might help you. I personally haven't tried this and don't know if it's fully compatible with Jomsocial but it's worth a try considering it's free.

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..
estacey2013 Unfortunately, that dark/light modes are not available at this moment, it will require customization to achieve that
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...
