  • Didn't work on Mobile and Desktop Client mode for me

    The icon appeared in the desktop view only in the Adm version, in the client version it does not appear anywhere, on the cell phone it did not work either, precisely because I was a customer accessing it, as nothing appears on the desktop client version, on the the same situation occurs on cell phones; I'm not sure if the plugin is still working in the free format, and before support asks whether I left the “Hide Toggle Button on Mobile” option enabled or not, I can tell you that it is unchecked.

  • Lacks customization & Inverts IMAGES!

    I appreciate light weight, but virtually no customization (neither the colors used for dark mode,nor styles - or your own icon - for the button...??)And why INVERT IMAGES??...and worse, have NO SETTING to DISABLE that!?

  • Works great with my website

    I struggled with another dark mode plugin for a while. This plugin is far less work making CSS adjustments, does not slow down my site, and simply makes everything look great. Support is incredibly quick and extremely helpful. I'm using the Pro version and love it!
