What is Dark Mode?
Dark mode is a display setting for UI, such as laptops, tablets, and smartphones. In simple words, dark mode means a default dark background with light text rather than the classic light mode that displays dark colored text over a white base color. When you opt for dark mode, you get a dark base with a light text display.
