Dark Engine
WordPress admin dark mode that actually works.
Dark Engine rebuilds classic wp-admin, Gutenberg, and the block editor as a true dark theme — scoped CSSOM overrides, not invert filters, with near-100% plugin compatibility.

DOM + stylesheet rescans
Gutenberg
+ TinyMCE covered
Not another invert-filter hack.
Classic WordPress dark mode plugins fight plugin UIs and the block editor because they invert the whole screen. Dark Engine reads stylesheets, inline styles, and computed surfaces, then injects scoped CSSOM overrides — so colors look designed, not flipped.
uiXpress interface
Gutenberg and block editor dark mode, properly.
Popovers, modals, toolbars, and the editor canvas iframe get dedicated coverage. Whether you write in the block editor or classic TinyMCE, WordPress dark mode stays consistent instead of breaking halfway through a draft.
uiXpress interface
Stays live as the admin changes.
DOM observers and incremental rescans catch dynamically loaded panels, late overlays, and third-party UI that appears after the page loads. Session-scoped caching keeps repeat visits fast, and caches invalidate when themes or settings change.

Capabilities
What makes Dark Engine different
Reads everything
Stylesheets, @import layers, adoptedStyleSheets, and inline styles are all rewritten into true dark surfaces.
Stays live
Observers and rescans keep dark mode accurate when plugins inject UI after load.
Isolation zones
uiXpress chrome is excluded so your admin UI never gets double-styled or washed out.
Fast on repeat visits
Session-scoped page and stylesheet caches make returning to screens feel instant.
Light, Dark, or System
Per-user preference that follows the OS — or force a global theme for every account.
Theme-aware neutrals
Neutrals map to your Theme Designer scale while brand and accent hues stay intact.
Block editor coverage
Gutenberg popovers, modals, and the editor canvas get dedicated dark styling.
TinyMCE included
Classic editor iframes and chrome are styled too — not left behind in light mode.
Third-party screens
Built for real WordPress stacks where plugin admin pages have their own CSS opinions.
