In this video, we are going to set the theme of the website using the user-defined theme preference from their operating system setting and ONLY CSS! The CSS property that we will use is called prefers-color-scheme. You can add this to any UI design.

There are several ways that we can implement themes. Generally, these only choose between light and dark mode, but any color scheme could be a choice. Giving the user the ability to choose a theme in your UI design will increase your user experience (UX).

In the next several videos I’m going to show you the different ways that you can accomplish this. There will also be some extra cool things thrown in throughout each video. So be sure to watch it to the end.
