Dark Mode and View Transitions

Tags:

Paper Theme includes:

  1. Dark mode — toggled via the header button, persisted in localStorage
  2. View Transitions — smooth in-site navigation without full page reloads
  3. Algolia search — header search overlay via plugin-in-search when algolia is configured

These features are progressive enhancements; the site remains fully usable without JavaScript.

External links and View Transitions

External links configured via header_nav or an absolute about URL open in a new tab by default and do not use View Transitions — they navigate normally. In-site relative links still use smooth transitions.

See Theme Configuration for configuration details.
