"Force dark theme on all websites" exceptions handling
-
@barbudo2005 thanks, I'll take a look on that one too for my personal use, but I still think exceptions should be an option in the browser's offered simple solution.
-
Of course, exceptions would be an improvement to the simple solution that comes from Chromium.
The underlying problem is that the simple solution is not a good solution.
-
@barbudo2005 fair enough. I'm pretty sure that for the few people who get bothered by the automatic rendering of dark mode, they will look for an extension. This suggestion isn't targeted to OCD dark mode people. Honestly, the automatic one doesn't bother me too much, but a few pages can get annoying, so I'll check the extension. This feature could also benefit mobile users as mobile don't usually accept extensions (I didn't check for Vivaldi mobile tho)
-
I know this is an older thread, but just checking in that I'd like this too.
There is a website which I do occasional work on, and
- It doesn't look good in dark mode, and
- I occasionally need to share my screen/take screenshots of WIP/etc., and I have to turn off the global dark mode setting just to do this.
An "exception" list that I could add just this website to (for it to permanently remain in light mode, but just itself) would make my day-to-day work feel much, much smoother.
Until then, seriously considering Dark Reader extension... but yeah having this native option would be great
-
@Heartkey, until now there is no whitelisting, but you can switch between dark/bright mode with "Ctrl+," or set another key combination if you want. (Keyboard>View)
My settings in Apearence

@Catweazle Yes, thank you for this! Just before you commented I found that I could set Toggle Dark Mode For All Websites to a key combination. I chose Alt+D (D for Dark - made sense to me hah) but yeah you could choose any combination you wanted.
It's still not perfect, I'd still prefer the exception list, but being able to toggle Dark Theming on or off in a fraction of a second with a key combination press definitely goes a long way for my own needs. Thanks again for sharing.
-
Adding an Exception for the dark mode would be great so that we can turn it on for some websites or turn it off for specific websites.
So a whitelist and blacklist option would be great, which is currently possible in Opera One
-
@bilallakhany, yes, but you can also switch between Dark/Bright Mode with Ctrl+.
-
@Catweazle That is true, and I do use the bind to toggle it on or off.
In some cases, I get flashed with bright white color when it's turned off and then have to turn it back on, and on some sites where I don't like the dark effect, I have to turn it back off, which becomes a hassle.
-
I've also tried extensions such as Dark Reader, but they don't support all pages and are not as good as the browser's dark mode.
-
About Dark Reader extension:
Said:
they don't support all pages..
..are not as good as the browser's dark mode.
-
@bilallakhany, Dark Reader has better options to customize colors, but I agree that it don't work on intern Vivaldi pages and on some websites, like eg. the Chrome Store.
Vivaldi Dark Mode works system wide and on almost all websites, but don't have options with colors and contrast like Dark Reader. nor whitelists. -
@Catweazle Does the browser extension have the option of customizing colors? I don't actually see the Dev Tools option in my extension on Vivaldi
I could do with not having it work on chromewebstore but if I can change the colors that would help, since I'm not liking the colors chose by Dark Reader
-
-
Checked it out, but still I'm not too happy with the Dark Reader plugin, the color options provided are limited and if I have to go into CSS and fix the dark mode myself then it's not worth it.
So +1 for adding blacklist and whitelist option in Vivaldi, as it's something basic a browser should have.
