How to use daisyUI themes?
daisyUI comes with a number of themes, which you can use with no extra effort. Each theme defines a set of colors which will be used on all daisyUI elements. To use a theme, add its name in tailwind.config.js and activate it by adding data-theme attribute to HTML tag:module.exports = {
//...
daisyui: {
themes: ["light", "dark", "cupcake"],
},
}<html data-theme="cupcake"></html>I suggest using theme-change, so you can switch themes and save selected theme in local storage. List of themes

You can apply custom style to a daisyUI themes using CSS:[data-theme="mytheme"] .btn {
border-width: 2px;
border-color: black;
}How to customize an existing theme?
In your tailwind.config.js, you can require an existing daisyUI theme and override some colors. In the below example, I require and spreadlight theme and change its primary and secondary colors: module.exports = {
//...
daisyui: {
themes: [
{
light: {
...require("daisyui/src/theming/themes")["light"],
primary: "blue",
secondary: "teal",
},
},
],
},
}How to add custom styles for a specific theme?
You can write custom style for your elements only for a specific theme. In this example, .btn-twitter class only will have this style on light theme.module.exports = {
//...
daisyui: {
themes: [
{
light: {
...require("daisyui/src/theming/themes")["light"],
".btn-twitter": {
"background-color": "#1EA1F1",
"border-color": "#1EA1F1",
},
".btn-twitter:hover": {
"background-color": "#1C96E1",
"border-color": "#1C96E1",
},
},
},
],
},
}How to apply Tailwind's 'dark:' selector for specific themes
daisyUI can be configured to use Tailwind'sdark: selector in your code. To achieve this, modify your tailwind.config.js file to include the darkMode parameter. Ensure that the dark: selector applies to the daisyUI theme you designate as dark. In the example below, we have 'winter' and 'night' themes. Since 'night' is the dark theme, we configure it as shown: module.exports = {
content: ['./src/**/*.{astro,html,svelte,vue,js,ts,jsx,tsx}'],
plugins: [require('daisyui')],
theme: { ... },
daisyui: {
themes: ['winter', 'night']
},
darkMode: ['selector', '[data-theme="night"]']
