| Pure CSS ePub theme detection (White / Sepia / Night) in iBooks (Mac OS and iOS included) | |
| Version 1.1 | |
| Note that iBooks actually uses internal JavaScript to set the "__ibooks_internal_theme" attribute on :root (html) element | |
| every time the theme is changed, but this happens independently of whether your epub html markup is scripted or not. | |
| Discovered and tested in iBooks on Mac, iPhone and iPad by | |

| /* For White Theme */ | |
| /* ... write your primary CSS here ... */ | |
| /* For Sepia Theme */ | |
| :root[__ibooks_internal_theme*="Sepia"] /* elements */ { | |
| /* ... override your CSS here ... */ | |
| } | |
| /* For Night Theme PLEASE READ COMMENTS BELOW */ | |
| :root[__ibooks_internal_theme*="Night"] /* elements */ { | |
| /* ... override background-color: */ | |
| background: -webkit-linear-gradient(/* color */, /* (the same) color */); | |
| /* ... override text color: */ | |
| -webkit-text-fill-color: /* color */; | |
| /* ... override rest of your CSS here ... */ | |
| } | |
| /* | |
| PLEASE READ CAREFULLY: | |
| iBooks adjusts HTML and CSS markup behind the scenes in many ways and when the Night theme is selected (not White or Sepia), | |
| these CSS styles (among others) are forced: | |
| :root { | |
| background-color: black !important; | |
| } | |
| :root * { | |
| background-color: transparent !important; | |
| color: #bebebe !important; | |
| } | |
| If you need to override background or text color of *any* element in the Night theme, use the CSS above, but please WISELY | |
| and only when absolutely necessary. | |
| I believe that abusing this method will cause it banned by Apple in future iBooks releases. | |
