django-dark

Preamble

This is just a fresh playground, stay tuned or feel free to contribute.

Setup

pip install django-dark

Integration

1. Add "dark" to your INSTALLED_APPS setting like this:

   INSTALLED_APPS = [
       ...
       'dark',
   ]
   

2. Modify Django's base_site.html

   {% block extrahead %}
       .
       .
       <link href="/static/admin/css/dark.css" type="text/css" media="(prefers-color-scheme: dark)" rel="stylesheet">
   {% endblock %}
   

   Template can be found here:

   • lib/python3.X/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/templates/admin/base_site.html
   • https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/contrib/admin/templates/admin/base_site.html

3. Helper Classes

   If you are using tintable images (one colored icons), you can add the class "img-invertable", which simply represents:

   .img-invertable {
       filter: invert(0.7)
   }
