FAQ

What output formats does Dark Mode CSS Variable Generator support?

Dark Mode CSS Variable Generator emits plain CSS plus variants such as CSS variables and inline style objects where relevant — copy the one that matches your stack.

Does Dark Mode CSS Variable Generator add vendor prefixes automatically?

Dark Mode CSS Variable Generator emits standards-track CSS that works in every evergreen browser without prefixes. Legacy prefixes (-webkit-, -moz-) are only added when the target property still needs them for meaningful support.

Can I use the output from Dark Mode CSS Variable Generator in React, Vue, or Svelte?

Yes. The generated CSS is framework-agnostic — paste it into a .css/.scss file, a styled-components template literal, a Tailwind @layer block, or a Vue/Svelte <style> block without edits.

What browser support does Dark Mode CSS Variable Generator target?

Dark Mode CSS Variable Generator targets the last two major versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari — the same baseline used by Next.js and modern Tailwind. If an effect needs a newer feature (e.g., color-mix, @container), the output labels it so you can decide how to fall back.

Does Dark Mode CSS Variable Generator respect prefers-reduced-motion?

Animation and transition output from Dark Mode CSS Variable Generator can be wrapped in a @media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce) guard — a toggle in the UI emits the safe version so users who opt out of motion don't see your animation.
