How to Switch to Light/Dark Mode

Similar to the default Joomla administrator template (Atum), Power Admin includes a built-in Light and Dark mode switcher to enhance your viewing experience. 

How to Enable Dark Mode

You can enable Dark Mode in Power Admin just like in the default Joomla administrator template. From your dashboard, go to the top-right corner and open the User Menu. Then expand the dropdown and select Dark Mode to switch the interface.

Power Admin also provides the flexibility to automatically match your OS system’s appearance. This means Power Admin will switch to dark mode when your operating system is set to dark, and revert to light mode when your system uses a light theme.

How to Enable “Follow OS Scheme”

To configure Power Admin to follow your OS theme, follow these steps:

  1. From your Joomla dashboard, go to Extensions > Templates.
  2. Switch to the Administrator tab.
  3. Click on the Options button.
  4. Open the Color Settings tab.
  5. Scroll down to locate the Dark Mode option.
  6. From the dropdown, select Follow OS scheme.

Once enabled, Power Admin will automatically sync its appearance with your system settings, eliminating the need for manual switching.
