How to Enable Dark Mode in Blogger Template (2025 Guide) 

Learn how to activate dark mode in your Blogger template for better UX, modern design, and SEO performance. Full 2025 step-by-step guide for beginners.

Why Add Dark Mode to Your Blogger Site?

Dark mode is no longer a trend — it’s a user experience standard.

Here’s why enabling dark mode in Blogger is smart:

Reduces eye strain
Improves readability at night
Increases session time
Makes your blog look modern
Helps meet accessibility preferences

Does Your Blogger Template Support Dark Mode?

Most modern templates from sites like Templateify, SoraTemplates, or ProBlogg include built-in dark mode toggle features.

Popular templates with built-in dark mode:

• SpotNews Blogger Template
• Median UI
• Fletro Pro
• LiteSpot Blogger Template

Check your template documentation or layout widgets for a dark mode option.

How to Enable Dark Mode in Blogger (2 Methods)

Method 1: Using Built-In Dark Mode Feature (Easiest)

1. Go to Blogger → Layout
2. Look for Theme Options, Dark Mode Switch, or Night Mode
3. Click Edit
4. Toggle “Enable Dark Mode” to ON
5. Save changes
6. Refresh your blog — a moon/sun icon will appear for users to switch modes

 This adds a toggle button so users can choose between light and dark mode.

Method 2: Add Custom Dark Mode Manually (If Template Doesn’t Support It)

You can inject custom CSS and JavaScript into your Blogger HTML.

Backup your theme before editing HTML!

Add CSS for Dark Mode:

1. Go to Theme → Edit HTML
2. Before </head>, paste:

<style>
body.dark-mode {
  background-color: #121212;
  color: #ffffff;
}
.dark-mode a {
  color: #90caf9;
}
</style>

Add Dark Mode Toggle Button + JavaScript:

Before </body>, paste:

<button onclick="toggleDarkMode()" style="position:fixed;bottom:20px;right:20px;z-index:999;">🌙</button>
<script>
function toggleDarkMode() {
  document.body.classList.toggle("dark-mode");
}
</script>

A moon button will now appear at the bottom right for users to switch modes.
