CSS Dark Mode Toggle With Clip Path Animation | Dark / Light Mode

September 18, 2019

How we can create a dark and light mode switch with an animation? Solution: See this CSS Dark Mode Toggle With Clip Path Animation, Dark / Light Mode switch.

Previously I have shared Light & Dark mode change program, but this with cool clip-path animation. Basically, in this program, we can switch between dark and light mode. When it’s changing that time we can see a cool animation with expanding effect. Dark themes reduce the luminance emitted by device screens, while still meeting minimum color contrast ratios.

Today you will learn to create a dark and light mode switch program with CSS and jQuery. This design has a sticky navbar with logo placeholder, come text cards with icons, and a toggle button with day and night icon. When you will click on the icon then the theme will be dark with an expanding circle clip-path animation. It is similar to Clip Path Animation Card program, but it is expanding around the whole webpage.

So, Today I am sharing CSS Dark Mode Toggle With Clip Path Animation. There I have used jQuery for handling the toggle feature and modify other CSS values. We use libraries for easy and fast work, and we can do any complicated JS program in a few lines of codes using jQuery. And the animation will not work in IE browser, but the dark/light mode switch will work without animation.

If you are thinking now how this Dark/ Light Mode Switch program actually is, then see the preview given below.

Preview of Dark / Light Mode Switch With jQuery

See this video preview to getting an idea of how this toggle animation looks like.

Live View

Now you can see this visually, you also can see it live by pressing the button given above. If you like this, then get the source code of its.

CSS Dark Mode Toggle With Clip Path Animation Source Code

Before sharing source code, let’s talk about it. First, using HTML I have put one fixed nav, 3 text cards, and an icon for switch modes. For placing icons, I have used Font-Awesome icon library with the latest release. And in HTML file, I have linked many files like jQuery, font, icons, etc.

Now using CSS I have placed all the elements in the right place, as you can see in the preview. I gave style to text elements like a card and put an icon in every text card for better UI. See in the preview, there is a circle which expands on toggle switch that is the main feature of this program. For creating this, I have used CSS clip-path property (info).

jQuery handling the toggle feature and change CSS values dynamically. I have created CSS variables for store colors and gave separate values for light and dark mode. And there is also a little Scroll to Top feature in every card, when you click on the right icons then you will see. Also, jQuery changes the night-day icon on the toggle.

Left all other things you will understand after getting the codes, I can’t explain all in writing. For creating this program, you have to create 3 files. First for HTML, second for CSS, and the third for JavaScript. Follow the steps to creating this without any error.

index.html

Create an HTML file named ‘index.html‘ and put these codes given below.
