Testing Dark Mode

To test the dark mode changes:

  1. In browser DevTools:

    • Open DevTools → Right-click on <html> element
    • Add class="dark" to the html tag
    • All pages should display properly with dark background and light text
  2. With theme toggle (if available):

    • Look for theme toggle in navbar
    • Pages should seamlessly switch between light and dark modes
  3. Verify:

    • Background gradients display correctly
    • All text is readable in both modes
    • Form inputs show text clearly in both modes
    • Buttons are clickable and properly styled
    • Cards have proper contrast
