# Dark mode

The **Neue** theme supports **Dark mode** and **Automatic dark mode**. This option is enabled by default and works with all available [Color schemes](/guides/neue/customization/site-wide/color-scheme.md) except **Dark**.

Follow the steps below to access the dark mode setting:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Access Ghost Admin

* Log in to your Ghost Admin at `yoursite.com/ghost`
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Navigate to Design Settings

* Go to **Settings** > **Site** > **Design & branding** `yoursite.com/ghost/#/settings/design`
* Click the **"Customize"** button to open the theme editor.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Open Theme Settings

* Locate the **Enable dark mode** toggle under the **Site wide** section.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Save Changes

* Click **"Save"** to apply your changes to the site.
  {% endstep %}
  {% endstepper %}

A dark-mode switch appears in the header (*mobile menu*) and footer, allowing visitors to toggle between light and dark modes manually. When the **"Dark"** [color scheme](/guides/neue/customization/site-wide/color-scheme.md) is selected, dark mode stays active by default and the switch is hidden. The theme stores each visitor’s preference in local storage, keeping their choice for future visits.

### Automatic Dark Mode

If a visitor hasn’t used the dark-mode switch, **Neue** will follow the device or browser’s system appearance setting (*light* or *dark*). Once a visitor toggles manually, that choice overrides the system preference.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.ektothemes.com/guides/neue/customization/site-wide/dark-mode.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
