Configure

First, make sure that the native darkmode option of NexT theme is set to false:

# Close NexT's darkmode
darkmode: false

To NexT theme's _config.yml add the following content:

# Darkmode JS
# For more information: https://github.com/rqh656418510/hexo-next-darkmode, https://github.com/sandoche/Darkmode.js
darkmode_js:
  enable: true
  bottom: '64px' # default: '32px'
  right: 'unset' # default: '32px'
  left: '32px' # default: 'unset'
  time: '0.5s' # default: '0.3s'
  mixColor: 'transparent' # default: '#fff'
  backgroundColor: 'transparent' # default: '#fff'
  buttonColorDark: '#100f2c' # default: '#100f2c'
  buttonColorLight: '#fff' # default: '#fff'
  isActivated: false # default false
  saveInCookies: true # default: true
  label: '🌓' # default: ''
  autoMatchOsTheme: true # default: true
  libUrl: # Set custom library cdn url for Darkmode.js

• isActivated: true: Default to activate darkmode, always use with saveInCookies: false and autoMatchOsTheme: false. At the same time, you need to set pjax: true in the configuration file of NexT theme, that is enable Pjax.

.darkmode--activated {
  --body-bg-color: #282828;
  --content-bg-color: #333;
  --card-bg-color: #555;
  --text-color: #ccc;
