i have seen it in many sites that in one switch click them light theme turns into dark mode...
i have installed two themes in my site
- Emerald Light
- Emerald Dark
now my site's current theme is light how can i use this switch options to turna theme into dark without redirecting . Can be it possible without page re-loading ?
No, it's impossible to change theme without reloading.
The theme changement is done by sending via POST the "my_post_key" and "theme" fields.
ok can i turn my light theme to dark by toggle ? how ?
You can use radio buttons or other form elements for theme select instead and style these to look like buttons.
Then use a separate CSS to hide/display the active/inactive theme. This will result in a kind of switch of buttons according to the active one.
<form ...>
<input type="radio" name="theme" value="46" class="switch_light"> Light
<input type="radio" name="theme" value="58" class="switch_dark"> Dark
</form>
Add into Light theme global.css:
.switch_light { display: none; }
Add into Dark theme global.css:
.switch_dark { display: none; }
Mind to use a fixed code for Theme IDs (value=""), else a lot of templates need to be renewed - that will also affect UserCP selects.
Otherwise youcan fell free to add a input button for each theme in a separate form like this
<form method="POST" action="{$theme_redirect_url['location']}" id="theme_select" class="switch_light">
<input type="hidden" name="theme" value="46">
<input type="hidden" name="my_post_key" value="{$mybb->post_code}" />
<input type="submit" class="button" value="Light" onclick="MyBB.changeTheme();"">
</form>
<form method="POST" action="{$theme_redirect_url['location']}" id="theme_select" class="switch_dark">
<input type="hidden" name="theme" value="58">
<input type="hidden" name="my_post_key" value="{$mybb->post_code}" />
<input type="submit" class="button" value="Dark" onclick="MyBB.changeTheme();"">
</form>
(Just an inspiration, code not tested.)

Hi PARADOXP,
Did you manage to do the toggle thing ?
I wanted to make this option for next Emerald version like a "turn the light on" option, if you can help me save time <3
Otherwise I'll tell you the solution once I have time to make it.
