Feature Request: Enhance Dark Theme

Summary: The current dark theme of the project can be improved to provide a better user experience, especially in low-light environments. This feature request aims to enhance the visual aesthetics and usability of the dark theme.

Motivation:

  1. User Comfort: A well-designed dark theme reduces eye strain, especially for users who work in low-light conditions.
  2. Consistency: An improved dark theme will ensure a consistent visual experience across all pages and components.
  3. Accessibility: Enhancing the dark theme can make the application more accessible to users with visual impairments.
  4. User Feedback: Some users have provided feedback about the dark theme needing better contrast and more polished UI elements.

Detailed Explanation:

  1. Contrast Adjustment: Adjust the contrast levels of text, background, and interactive elements to improve readability and accessibility.
  2. Color Palette: Introduce a more refined color palette that includes shades of grey, accent colors, and highlight colors that complement the dark background.
  3. Component Styles: Update the styles of various UI components such as buttons, input fields, modals, and tooltips to ensure they are visually appealing and consistent.

Examples and Mockups:

  1. Replacing current color with #102C57

Alternatives Considered:

  1. User-Customizable Themes: Allow users to customize their own themes, but this approach might be more complex and require significant additional development effort.
  2. Third-Party Themes: Use third-party dark themes, but this might not fully integrate with the existing design system and could lead to inconsistencies.

Additional Context:

Acceptance Criteria:

  1. Contrast: Text and interactive elements should have sufficient contrast with the background for readability.
  2. Consistency: The dark theme should be consistent across all pages and components.
  3. Accessibility: The dark theme should meet accessibility standards, including color contrast ratios.
  4. Usability: Users should find the dark theme comfortable to use for extended periods, especially in low-light conditions.
  5. Feedback: Gather positive feedback from users regarding the improved dark theme.
