    3432
    35 ### Enable Dark Mode###
     33### Enable Dark Mode
    3634Enable dark mode is the main feature of Dark Reader. When you turn this on, your entire website will automatically switch to a dark color scheme. Visitors will see a modern design that feels comfortable on the eyes. It works on all pages, posts, and even your WordPress admin dashboard if you want.
    3735
    3836This feature helps reduce eye strain, especially for people browsing at night or in low-light conditions. It also makes your website look more professional and up to date since most apps and systems now support dark mode. Adding this option improves user experience and keeps visitors engaged longer.
    3937
    40 ### Brightness Control ###
     38### Brightness Control
    4139Brightness Control gives you the ability to fine-tune how light or dark your website appears when dark mode is enabled. Some users prefer a very deep black, while others like a softer gray background. With this setting, you can adjust brightness to create the perfect balance for your audience.
    4240
    4341This makes your dark mode more inclusive because not all visitors have the same preferences. By customizing brightness, you can reduce glare without making the site too dark. It ensures your design stays readable and pleasant for everyone.
    4442
    45 ### Contrast Control ###
     43### Contrast Control
    4644Contrast Control lets you adjust the difference between text and background in dark mode. High contrast improves readability, while lower contrast gives a softer look. You can choose the level that works best for your content style.
    4745
    4846This feature is especially important for accessibility. Visitors with vision difficulties need enough contrast to read comfortably. By offering adjustable contrast, Dark Reader dark mode plugin makes your site more user-friendly and compliant with modern accessibility practices.
    4947
    50 ### Sepia Filter ###
     48### Sepia Filter
    5149The Sepia Filter adds a warm, brownish tone to your site in dark mode. This reduces the amount of blue light, which is often linked to eye strain and sleep problems. Many users prefer sepia for reading long articles or browsing at night.
    5250
    5351Using a sepia effect gives your website a unique look while still keeping it easy on the eyes. It is especially helpful for blogs, magazines, and content-heavy sites where visitors spend a lot of time reading.
    5452
    55 ### Grayscale Filter ###
     53### Grayscale Filter
    5654The Grayscale Filter turns your site’s colors into shades of gray in dark mode. This creates a clean and minimal style. It also reduces distractions from bright images or colorful elements that might not fit well with dark mode.
    5755
    5856Grayscale can also help content stand out more clearly. For example, text becomes the main focus because background visuals are softened. This is a great option for professional websites, portfolios, or any site that wants a modern, elegant look.
    5957
    60 ### Toggle Button Position ###
     58### Toggle Button Position
    6159The Toggle Button Position setting lets you choose where the dark mode switch appears. You can place it in the top-left, top-right, bottom-left, or bottom-right corner of the screen. This makes it easy for visitors to find and use.
    6260
    6361Flexibility in position is useful because different websites have different layouts. For example, if you already have widgets or floating buttons on one side, you can move the toggle elsewhere to avoid overlapping. It gives you full control over user experience.
    6462
    65 ### 5+ Toggle Button Styles ###
     63### 5+ Toggle Button Styles
    6664Dark Reader comes with five different toggle button styles: Default, Round, Switch, Toggle, and Minimal. Each style has its own look and feel, so you can choose one that matches your site’s design.
    6765
    6866Having multiple styles ensures the dark mode toggle blends naturally with your theme. Whether you want a bold button or a subtle switch, you can pick the option that feels right. This customization helps maintain your brand identity while offering dark mode.
    6967
    70 ### Use System Color Scheme ###
     68### Use System Color Scheme
    7169This option matches your website with the visitor’s device preference. If their computer or phone is set to dark mode, your site will automatically load in dark mode. If not, it will stay in light mode.
    7270
    7371This feature creates a seamless browsing experience because users do not need to switch modes manually. It makes your site feel more modern and adaptive to user habits, just like mobile apps and operating systems.
    7472
    75 ### Enable for PDFs ###
     73### Enable for PDFs
    7674With this feature, dark mode also applies to embedded PDF files on your site. Normally, PDFs remain bright and may clash with a dark layout. Enabling this keeps the viewing experience consistent.
    7775
    7876It is especially helpful for websites that share eBooks, reports, or documents. Visitors can read PDFs without straining their eyes, and the design stays professional across all content types.
    7977
    80 ### Apply Immediately ###
     78### Apply Immediately
    8179This setting makes sure dark mode applies instantly to all dynamic content on your website. Without it, some elements might load in light mode before switching, which can feel distracting.
    8280
    8381Apply Immediately creates a smoother experience. It prevents flashing effects and ensures that every page, post, and element appears in dark mode right from the start.
    8482
    85 ### Filter Mode ###
     83### Filter Mode
    8684Filter Mode allows you to choose between two types of dark styles: Dimmed Mode and Dark Mode. Dimmed Mode is softer with less contrast, while Dark Mode is stronger with deeper blacks.
    8785
    8886This flexibility helps you match dark mode to your brand style and visitor preferences. Some users may prefer a gentle look, while others want a bold, high-contrast design. Dark Reader lets you offer both.
    8987
    90 ### Text Stroke ###
     88### Text Stroke
    9189The Text Stroke option adds a thin outline to your text. This makes words stand out more clearly on dark backgrounds. It is especially useful if your design includes colored text or decorative fonts.
    9290
    9391Adding text stroke improves readability without changing your site’s style. It keeps your content easy to read for everyone, even in low-light conditions or on smaller screens.
    9492
    95 ### Dark Mode Toggle Shortcode ###
     93### Dark Mode Toggle Shortcode
    9694Dark Reader includes a shortcode [dark_reader_toggle] that you can place anywhere on your website. You can add it inside posts, pages, or widgets. This gives you full control over where visitors can access the dark mode switch.
    9795
    9896Shortcode support is helpful if you want to put the toggle in specific areas, like a menu, header, or footer. It makes your site more flexible and ensures the dark mode feature is always easy to find.
