Reviewers call it simple and easy to drop into FSE themes, and they say the developer answers quickly in the support forum, though one notes the CSS-only customization looks intimidating at first.

   This is a great plugin – something i really looked after for a long time. Unlike most of the other plugins this is simple, small and very easy to integrate into FSE themes as you only have to add a block. Also it’s possible to make customisations to the dark mode to fit the need of the own site. This plugin needs more attention while it meets a very important feature with easy. Great work!

   This little plugin is really great. Installing was easy. The customization is done completely in CSS code, which may seem a bit intimidating at first. But heading over to the plugin support forum, the developers at codekraft were super-helpful and all my issues were answered and fixed shortly. And I learned a few things I can and did use in other places of my WordPress-Site. I am very happy that this is not one of those bloated, brainwashed premium-nagwares, as unfortunately many WP-plugins are.
