Description
Issue ID
W2E-1009
Section Context
- Section: Horizontal menu bar
- Subsection: Day/Night switch (UI)
Problem Statement
Day/Night colour switch is not required at this stage.
Discussion
It may help some users, but any implementation must consider palette impact and accessibility/IFLA guidance; currently mostly a gimmick.
Required Action
Remove the Day/Night colour switch from the horizontal menu.
Technical Details
Implementation Notes
If retained, ensure 4.5:1/3:1 contrast ratios.
Evidence/References
Draft 4 | Horizontal menu bar | "Remove the day/night colour switch …"
Rationale
Reduces complexity and palette risk; can be reintroduced after an accessible palette (WCAG 2.1) is defined.
