Resolves #2

Why is this feature needed?

The website needed a visual update to better suit users who prefer dark themes and to optimize the image panels' height for a more compact and modern look.

What and how are we changing? Why this approach?

  • We added a new stylesheet file named "theme-overrides.css" to apply the dark theme and adjust panel heights.
  • In "theme-overrides.css", we've set the body background color to a dark shade (#121212) and limited the image panel height to 60vh.
  • We updated "index.html" to include the new stylesheet, ensuring that these style overrides are applied to the website.
  • This approach was chosen to keep the dark theme modifications modular and easily maintainable, while preserving the original styles.

What actions are required from users?

Users don't need to take any direct actions. However:

  • They should clear their browser cache if they don't see the updated styles immediately.
  • In case of custom themes overriding default styles, users might need to adjust their configurations.

How does it work? (Technical details)

  • The new "theme-overrides.css" file includes CSS rules that override the default background and panel height with the dark-themed colors and dimensions.
  • The HTML file ("index.html") now loads this stylesheet in addition to the base stylesheet ("style.css"), ensuring the overrides are applied.
  • The use of "!important" ensures that these styles take precedence over any conflicting rules in the base stylesheet.

Is it backwards compatible?

Yes, the changes are backward compatible:

  • Existing users and functionalities will not be affected aside from the visual updates.
  • Users who prefer the default styling can override these styles with their own custom CSS if needed.

Any other considerations?

  • Future modifications can be easily added to "theme-overrides.css" to enhance or adjust the dark theme.
  • The modular approach helps in isolating theme-specific styles from the base layout, which can be beneficial if multiple themes need to be supported later on.
  • Testing on different browsers is recommended to ensure the dark theme appears consistent across various platforms.
