How to use dark mode templates with Kiro
Pick a design
Choose a dark mode design above and open it to see it live.
Copy the template
Copy the template from its page. It is one HTML file with no dependencies.
Set up Kiro
Save the template and its DESIGN.md in your project, and add a steering file in .kiro/steering that tells Kiro to follow them in every spec.
Prompt, then refine
Paste it and describe your product. Then follow up with: "Add a task to build this section from design/template.html, following DESIGN.md for colours, type and spacing."
What makes a good dark mode section
Common types: dark landing pages, dark dashboards, dark heroes over a glow and full dark product sites.
Near-black, not pure black
Dark grey backgrounds with lighter layers create depth.
Readable contrast
Body text stays light enough to read comfortably.
One accent colour
Colour is used sparingly so it means something.
Common mistake: Grey text on near-black that is too dim to read. Dark mode website design ideas →
Keeping the design in Kiro
Kiro plans each feature as a spec with requirements, a technical design and tasks, so it suits teams who want UI work planned as carefully as the code.
What Kiro builds
Code in your project's stack, built task by task from a Kiro spec.
Where the design goes
Save the template and its DESIGN.md in your project, and add a steering file in .kiro/steering that tells Kiro to follow them in every spec.
Kiro and dark mode sections
Kiro's spec design.md covers architecture, not looks, so without DESIGN.md the UI falls back to generic choices. Paste the template again with your follow-up prompt if it starts to drift.
What to tell it
Keep the background layers and accent colour exactly, and check that body text keeps enough contrast.
Set it up once with our DESIGN.md templates.
