## Description

**SVisciano – Light-Dark Theme Mode** allows you to easily create a secondary color
variant for your website. Give your users the freedom to switch between your default
style and a custom color override with a sleek, modern toggle.

Unlike rigid dark mode plugins, **it does not force a predefined style**. It works
on top of your existing design, meaning your base theme can be either **light** 
or **dark**.
 You decide which version is the default, and the plugin handles the
secondary variant.

### 🚀 How It Works

 1. **Set your Base Theme**: Select whether your site is natively Light or Dark.
 2. **Scan CSS Variables**: Automatically detect the color variables used on any page
    of your site with one click.
 3. **Map Your Colors**: Pair your original color variables with your custom override
    colors.
 4. **Display the Switcher**: Place the shortcode anywhere on your site to display 
    a beautiful toggle.

### 🌟 Key Features

 * **Flexible Base Theme**: Choose Light or Dark as your starting point.
 * **Smart Visitor Preferences**: Set the starting theme for first-time visitors(
   including an Auto mode that follows browser preferences).
 * **Automatic CSS Variable Scanner**: Easily detect color variables on your pages
   to simplify the mapping process.
 * **Instant Search & Filters**: Quickly find scanned variables by name or value
   to speed up your workflow.
 * **Total Mapping Control**: Map variables automatically or manually enter custom
   names.
 * **Import & Export**: Back up your color mappings or transfer them to another 
   site in seconds.
 * **Beautiful Toggle Styles**: Choose from multiple modern switcher designs (like
   Minimal Switch or Glass Pill) to match your site’s aesthetic.
 * **Shortcode Placement**: Place the [SVISCIANO_THEME_SWITCHER] shortcode exactly
   where you need it.
 * **Lightweight & Fast**: Pure CSS variable manipulation that doesn’t bloat your
   site or modify your original design.

Take **full control** of your website’s secondary theme without being locked into
a predefined dark mode system!

## FAQ

### Does the plugin work with an already light or dark theme?

Yes! The plugin does not enforce a predefined style. You choose which theme (Light
or Dark) will be the base, and the plugin applies the alternate theme when the switch
is activated.

### How does the « Auto » mode work?

The « Auto » mode detects the user’s browser preference. If the user has dark mode
enabled in their system, the alternate dark theme is applied, otherwise, the alternate
light theme is applied.

### Does the plugin automatically map all site colors?

No. The plugin only scans a page to detect color variables. You must manually map
each original color variable to a custom override color.

### Can I place multiple toggle switches on a page?

You can insert the shortcode anywhere, but only **one toggle per page** will work.
If you add multiple toggles, only the first one will be functional.

### Are multiple toggle styles available?

Yes. You can select the default toggle style in the plugin settings, and the shortcode
will display it accordingly.

### Do the override colors replace the original theme colors?

No. The base theme colors remain intact. When the switch is active, only the mapped
override colors are applied. Switching OFF restores the original base theme.

### Is the plugin compatible with any theme?

The plugin works at the CSS level and does not rely on any theme-specific logic.
In practice, it can be used with any theme, but the actual results depend on the
color variables present and how the theme is structured.

A fantastic dark mode plugin to let you easily change colour variables to others,
making it very customisable but also simple to use. It unfortunately does not work
directly with stock wordpress colour gradients and they don't use variables, but
this is only a minor issue I have as it can be worked around by setting colour gradients
yourself with custom css using variables. I wouldn't mind also being able to override
the variable with another variable.

Easy to use and I love the customization it provides. I wish it allowed you to choose
what the default mode is for your website — mine is meant to be viewed in dark mode
so I would prefer it not automatically toggle, but that's not the biggest deal ever.
