We now supports macOS Mojave’s Dark Mode.

If you are using latest macOS. Set your system appearance in Dark. You should see our site looks like this in Safari:

Mojave-Dark-Site-View.png

How it works

@media (prefers-color-scheme: light) {
  // css code for light mode
}
@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
  // css code for dark mode
}

Try it with yourself

Open this example site of Jekyll with macOS Safari.

Press option+command+I to open Web Inspector. Navigate to Resources -> All Resources -> minima -> style.css. Copy and paste the following code below body {} section:

(or copy the whole style.css of our site if you want a better look)

@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
  body {
    font: 400 16px/1.5 -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol";
    color: #c8e1ff;
    background-color: #1b1f23;
    -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;
    -webkit-font-feature-settings: "kern" 1;
    -moz-font-feature-settings: "kern" 1;
    -o-font-feature-settings: "kern" 1;
    font-feature-settings: "kern" 1;
    font-kerning: normal;
    display: flex;
    min-height: 100vh;
    flex-direction: column;
  }
}

You should see website changes when you change macOS Apperance.

Modify _config.yml in your site root directory:
