Feature Request: Add Dark Mode Support for Documentation Pages

Summary

The documentation pages currently support only a light theme. Adding a dark mode option would significantly improve readability, accessibility, and user experience, especially for users working in low-light environments.


Problem

  • The current documentation UI uses only a light theme, which can cause eye strain during prolonged usage.
  • Many modern developer tools and documentation sites provide dark mode as a standard feature.
  • Lack of dark mode may reduce usability and accessibility for contributors and users.

Proposed Solution

Introduce a dark mode theme specifically for documentation pages with:

  • A consistent dark color palette for:
    • Background
    • Sidebar
    • Header
    • Text
    • Links
    • Code blocks
    • Borders and hover states
  • Proper contrast to ensure readability and accessibility.
  • Optional theme toggle (light/dark) or system-based preference (prefers-color-scheme).

Scope of Changes

Potential areas to update:

  • Documentation UI styles (CSS/Tailwind/Theme files)
  • Sidebar and navigation components
  • Code block styling
  • Global theme configuration (if applicable)

Expected Benefits

  • Improved developer experience and accessibility
  • Better usability in low-light environments
  • Alignment with modern documentation standards
  • Enhanced visual consistency with other developer tools

Additional Context

A dark mode design proposal can be created to ensure the theme aligns with the project's visual identity and maintains readability across all documentation pages.
