DarkChild 2016

Wordpress Child Theme

This child theme is for Twenty Sixteen and has two things:

1. A dark mode, with different theme options
2. Collected styles for ease of changing typography

Dark mode

Dark mode is set with @media screen and (prefers-color-scheme: dark) and is configurable via Dark Mode under the Customize menu

There are three themes:

1. Classic Dark - Black and grays with white text
2. Alpenglow - Dark purples with white text, based on the Firefox theme
3. Blue - Dark blue/gray colors, white text

Font Substitutions

The CSS for font choices has been collected in the child theme style.css making changing the fonts for the different styles simpler.

The theme currently uses the following:

1. Seriff (body text): Merriweather, Georgia, serif;
2. San-Seriff (headings): Raleway, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif;
3. Mono (code): 'IBM Plex Mono', monospace;
