Default Dark Theme

In this blog post, we will see how can we enforce the default theme to be dark, to save the energy :)

Disclaimer

Note: I use the Fuji Theme for Hugo.

I presume most of the configuration values should be common across all the themes. However, it is better to check with the theme documentation for the right way to get the data rendered and displayed correctly on the site, as the keywords used to display the data might be different in each theme.

Configuration in the config.toml file

The settings to be applied in the config.toml file is given below.

[params]  
  ....
  defaultTheme = "dark" # default theme when first visit (auto|dark|light)
