So how does this look on mobile @vinayak19th :?

[vinayak19th]

It's all implemented on my blog if you want to see a live version - https://www.vinayak19th.me/Blog/

Here's a screenshot for context;

I really like this change. The theme toggle being near the top makes much more sense than at the bottom of a page.

Why? It was a good PR. @vinayak19th

[vinayak19th]

I'll make a new one with few more fixes

[AlphaHasher]

Why not just make new commits to this PR?

[vinayak19th]

Umm sorry I'm not very experienced with git so i didn't know how to do that. 🥲 *-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------* *Vinayak Sharma,* *https://vinayak19th.github.io/ <https://vinayak19th.github.io/>* *-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*

It seems different with some creative features.
Good luck.

@lotusk08, yeah, I made a lot of changes to the theme to unify it better with my personal website. I won't be pushing all of them in the new PR. I've made a branch that is based on the current version of Chirpy, I basically wanna push 2 changes:

1. Move the top bar to the bottom on mobile for better reachability
2. Move the dark mode toggle to the top bar.

[vinayak19th]

You can find the updated PR #2683 . I pushed changes to push the darkmode toggle and make some minor usability improvements to the top bar

Your button needs to update the theme status to work properly.
