## How it helps
Dark Mode Toggle works directly with Elementor's own Global Colors — the primary, secondary, text, and accent colors you've already set up as part of your site's design. Add the toggle anywhere on your site, choose a dark palette for each of those four global colors, and clicking it switches your entire site into dark mode instantly, remembered for that visitor on their next visit too.
Dark Mode Toggle works directly with Elementor's own global colours — no separate stylesheet, no custom code. Add the toggle anywhere on your site, choose a dark palette, and one click flips your entire site into dark mode instantly, remembered for that visitor on their next visit too.
Crucially, it speaks **both** of Elementor's colour systems:
- The **classic Global Colors** (Primary, Secondary, Text, Accent) that traditional widgets use.
- The **newer Elementor 4.x global variables** used by the latest atomic widgets.
Real sites are increasingly a mix of the two, so the toggle can remap both at once — meaning your dark mode stays complete as you build with newer Elementor widgets, not just the old ones.
## The result
A genuine site-wide dark mode, built entirely from colors you already control through Elementor — no separate stylesheet to maintain.

*Note: this widget relies on your theme and Elementor Kit consistently using Elementor's Global Colors throughout your design — the more consistently they're used, the more complete the dark mode effect will be.*
