Toolbar button for dark mode ON/OFF
-
Thank you very much for implementing the dark mode for web pages !!! This is a capital feature for me on a web browser because white background hurt my eyes badly. Now let's make it a little more accessible by making a button to quickly turn it on and off from the toolbar. Sometimes certain elements on some webpages are hard to read in dark mode so it will be very useful to be able to turn dark mode off quickly with the press of ONE button and then turn it back on to enjoy the dark.
Right now to do that I must navigate to: Tools > Settings > Appearance > and check "Force a dark theme on all websites".
Again, thank you for implementing the dark mode in Vivaldi !

Yes should be a simple way to turn on & use dark-mode for the sites that still do not offer dark-mode, a button to turn on or off per site would be a huge feature...

In the meantime use the extension Dark Reader:

That is awesome, have tried multiple extensions, never seen this one...
Thank you, really appreciate!

For 95% of the sites I use the mode "Dynamic" that is the best.
You can create 3 other "Themes" for sites that look better with the other "Modes":
Theme 1 = Filter
Theme 2 = Filter +
Theme 3 = Static

Yes, I know about that one but I use another extension called "Dark Mode" which indeed, does just that.
Still, I am very happy to see this feature integrated into Vivaldi directly and a button to turn it on/off would be great.

Instead of having an extension, the simple option to just "disable dark mode for this site" is much better.
Why need an extension? I just need one single simple option, if its functionality we are talking about, this is a must have.

Seconded. I'm moving from Opera GX where you have the same option to force dark mode on all pages, but there's also a settings page with two lists you can add URLs to; one for sites that should always be forced to dark mode, and another for exceptions to the 'all sites' setting. Plus, the right-click context menu has an option to add the current domain to the first list, or swap it from one list to the other if it's already on there.It's a shame, because the one flaw with OGX's implementation is that it very often flips the colours of images unnecessarily, which Vivaldi's "selective inversion of non-image elements" flag doesn't. But for now I'm just settling for setting a Filter Invert hotkey. A native per-site setting here would be much appreciated!

Thank you all for your suggestions.
While it would be great to have a list of exceptions to sites where you can disable the forced dark theme, or have control over this feature for each tab - with the current workload it is difficult to do the extra work.
But - in the latest Vivaldi snapshot there is a quick command option "Toggle force dark theme on all web pages". With this quick command, you can quickly switch between light / dark mode (the command is only available if your site's appearance is dark or automatic with a dark OS theme).Cmd+E -> type a name of the command
.You can also create a shortcut for that command in the settings:
Settings -> Keyboard -> Open the View dropdown list -> Assign shortcut.
I hope this is something that will help you a little more

Will this workaround get shipped to the desktop stable release eventually?
Would also love to have a dark mode toggle for websites just like on mobile. -

If nothing bad happens, then yes

Thanks! This is going to be really useful this might even reduce the dependence on the dark reader extension for me.
