Understanding Bubble.io and Dark Mode   Dark mode is a popular feature in user interface design that helps reduce eye strain and saves battery life on devices with OLED screens. Implementing dark mode in Bubble.io, a no-code platform, requires a combination of designing new styles and using workflows to switch between light and dark modes dynamically. Here's a step-by-step guide to implement dark mode in Bubble.io:   1. Create Custom Styles for Dark Mode   -

Navigate to the "Styles" tab in the Bubble editor.

-

Click on "Create a new style" to define styles specifically for dark mode.

-

Customize the background color, text color, button styles, and other UI elements to suit the dark mode theme.

-

Name the style appropriately, such as "Dark Mode Button" or "Dark Mode Text" to easily identify them.

  2. Design Dark Mode Elements   -

For each UI element (buttons, text fields, backgrounds), create a dark mode version.

-

Use the styles created in the previous step to apply the dark mode design to these elements.

  3. Add a Toggle Switch for Dark Mode   -

Drag a Toggle element or a Button onto your page that users can click to switch between light and dark modes.

-

Label this button clearly, for example, "Toggle Dark Mode."

-

Ensure the button/toggle is easily accessible for users.

  4. Set Up a User Preference State   -

In the Bubble editor, go to the "Data" tab and create a new field in the User data type called "Preferred Theme" with a text type.

-

Create a workflow that updates this field based on the user's selection (Light or Dark mode). This will allow your app to remember the user's preference.

-

Use Bubble's "Set State" actions to track the current theme state on the front-end.

  5. Create Workflows to Switch Themes   -

Go to the "Workflow" tab.

-

Create an event for when the user clicks the Toggle/Button.

-

Add an action to change the state of a custom state (e.g., "isDarkMode") depending on the user's selection.

-

Update the interface elements with conditional formatting based on the custom state.

  6. Apply Conditional Formatting   -

Select each element you wish to change based on the dark mode state (backgrounds, text, buttons, etc.).

-

In the property editor of each element, go to the "Conditional" tab.

-

Add a condition: When "isDarkMode" is true, change this element’s style to the dark mode style created earlier.

-

Repeat this for all elements that require changes when switching to dark mode.

  7. Test Thoroughly   -

Preview your app and test the dark mode toggle to ensure that all elements switch correctly between light and dark modes.

-

Check for consistency and readability, making sure that all text and UI elements are properly visible in both modes.

  8. Save User Preference (Optional)   -

If you want the user's dark mode preference to be remembered across sessions, save the preference to the database (e.g., in the User data type).

-

Retrieve this preference when the user logs in and apply it automatically by setting the custom state accordingly on page load.

  By following these steps, you should be able to successfully implement dark mode in your Bubble.io application, providing a better user experience for those who prefer this feature.
