By MrReSc

This template is based on the standard DokuWiki Template.

MindTheDark offers a light and a dark color scheme for your DokuWiki. The color scheme and the style are optimized for software documentation. The optics are flat.

If the userChoice option is enabled, an option to change the color scheme will appear in the header. If only userChoice is enabled, then the selected static mode will be used until the user makes a choice.

If the autoDark option is enabled, the color scheme of the operating system is used.

If neither of the two options is selected, a static color scheme can be selected via theme.

If both options are enabled, then Auto mode will be used until the user makes a choice. From this point on, only the user's choice is taken into account.

Features
