I moved our company development Wiki from Azure DevOps into Obsidian Publish. With local markdown and one-click publishing, it’s been the solution that stuck with us. My company gladly paid for the commercial license and the Publish service.

If you want your site to automatically switch between light and dark themes based on the visitor’s system settings, you can use a @media query and the prefers-color-scheme feature.

:root {
  --color-background: #eee;
  --color-text: #000;
}

@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
  :root {
    --color-background: #333;
    --color-text: #eee;
  }
}

body {
  color: var(--color-text);
  background-color: var(--color-background);
}

Updated January 2, 2024 to use :root pseudo-class.
