The :root.dark CSS variable inversion caused contrast problems -
text-gray-900 and bg-gray-950 both became light in dark mode, making
text invisible on backgrounds.
Fix:
- Remove :root.dark { --color-gray-*: ... } block from layout.css
- Change :root.dark selector to .dark for form element styles
- Add standard Tailwind dark: classes throughout every .svelte page
- dark:bg-gray-950 (page backgrounds)
- dark:bg-gray-900 (card/surface backgrounds)
- dark:bg-gray-800 (table headers, elevated surfaces, active nav links)
- dark:bg-gray-700 (primary buttons)
- dark:text-gray-100 (primary text)
- dark:text-gray-300 (secondary text, labels)
- dark:text-gray-400 (muted text, inactive nav links, links)
- dark:border-gray-700 (borders)
- dark:border-gray-600 (input borders)
- dark:hover:bg-gray-800 (sidebar hover)
- dark:hover:bg-gray-600 (button hover)
- dark:prose-invert (rich text content)
- TopBar: full dark mode support (bg, links, toggle button)
- Sidebar: all nav links, active states, admin submenu get dark mode
- Auth pages (login, register, forgot, reset): full dark mode
- Protected pages (dashboard, account, setup, license-keys,
proclamations, categories): full dark mode
- Home page, error page, admin page: dark:text-gray-100
