Dark mode

One of the valuable additions of Bootstrap 5.3.0 is the toggle for dark mode. This button allows web users to easily switch between light & dark modes, facilitating seamless use of the web or app across different lighting conditions.

To use this feature, simply add the data-bs-toggle="dark-mode" attribute to any button or link element.

For example:

 Toggle Dark Mode 

Font scaling utilities

Bootstrap 5.3.0 introduces a set of font scaling widgets, allowing you to quickly get the text size you want based on predefined ratios, without having to manually select specific font values.

You can use these widgets in conjunction with other Bootstrap typography classes to get consistent typography with dynamic scaling on your web or app.

For example:

This is the largest font size

This is a slightly smaller font size

This is a medium size font

This is a small font size

This is the smallest font size

Gutter Utility

This new addition makes it easy to add gutters between columns in Bootstrap's grid layout without having to write custom CSS.

For example:

 Column 1 Column 2 

This example uses class gx-3 to add a gutter of 3 units (or 1.5rem) between two columns.

Update form controls

Form controls in Boostrap were updated in version 5.3.0 to improve consistency and usability. New form controls include updated styles for check boxes, radio buttons, choice boxes, and improved validation responses.

Bootstrap 5.3.0 is a major update to the popular CSS framework. It brings some great new features and upgrades. From dark mode, to fonts, gutters., programmers will definitely find Bootstrap more and more useful.
