| # Adding Dark Mode to a Sugar Labs Website | ||
|
|
||
| ## Introduction | ||
| Sugar Labs builds open-source tools that make learning playful and accessible. I recently contributed dark mode to a Sugar Labs web project. This post outlines the problem I encountered, how I debugged and fixed it, and the key lessons I learned so others can ship accessible theming with confidence. |

| ## The Problem | ||
| The Sugar Labs website originally lacked a Dark Mode option, which made browsing less comfortable in low-light conditions. This was particularly noticeable for developers and users who preferred darker themes. |

Please be consistent with capitalization. "Dark Mode" or "dark mode". Don't switch between the two.

| - **Goal:** Deliver a robust dark mode that respects system preference, includes a manual toggle with persistence, and maintains accessible contrast across the interface. |

Maybe reference how it "respects system preference". That's interesting.
