You can always default to the user mode, and make a switcher that fetches another CSS file.

That way you will have a flash, but if the user set dark mode on their browser/DE, they'll flash in dark, not light.

Or, alternatively, you can always make it flash in dark. I never heard about anybody being annoyed by a dark flash.



a dark flash would definitely be annoying; it would feel like i'm using a first-gen e-reader.


That's why I made my site all pixelated and bitmappy. The lack of performance is part of the aesthetic. Might even throw a dummy loading bar on it if I'm feeling extra cheeky.


Ok, that comparison is ridiculous. A two monitor frames flash after the first load doesn't look at all like a first-gen e-reader.
