Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Key Features:
Automatic detection using CSS prefers-color-scheme: dark media query
Zero configuration – works out of the box
Privacy-respecting – all detection happens client-side
Theme-agnostic – works with any WordPress theme
Media preservation – images, videos, and embeds display correctly
Developer-friendly – extensible via WordPress filter hooks
How It Works:
The plugin uses the CSS prefers-color-scheme media query to detect when a visitor’s operating system is set to dark mode. When detected, dark mode styles are automatically applied without any JavaScript or server-side processing.
Technical Features:
Modern PHP 8.2+ architecture with dependency injection (PHP-DI)
Service-oriented design with PSR-4 autoloading
Separate styling strategies for Block themes (CSS variables) and Classic themes (filter inversion)
Comprehensive test coverage with PHPUnit
Developer Hooks:
Customize the plugin behavior using these filter hooks:
jtzl_dark_mode_enabled – Enable/disable dark mode on specific pages
jtzl_dark_mode_css_variables – Customize dark mode colors
jtzl_dark_mode_custom_css – Add custom CSS rules
