## 1. Overview & Strategy
### Approach: CSS Custom Properties + Tailwind `darkMode: 'class'`
The chosen strategy combines two mechanisms:
1. **CSS Custom Properties** (semantic tokens) — define abstract color names like `--color-surface` that change value per theme. All components reference tokens, never raw colors.
2. **Tailwind `darkMode: 'class'`** — the `dark` class on `<html>` gates dark-specific Tailwind utilities. Works with SSR (no hydration mismatch).
**Why not `darkMode: 'media'`?**
Media-based detection cannot be overridden by user preference. Class-based allows: system detection → user preference override → localStorage persistence. This is the industry standard (Tailwind docs, Radix UI, shadcn/ui).
### Theme Toggle Flow
```
Page Load
├── Read localStorage('theme')
│ ├── 'dark' → add class="dark" to <html>
│ ├── 'light' → remove class="dark"
│ └── null/undefined → check prefers-color-scheme
│ ├── dark → add class="dark"
│ └── light → no class (default light)
└── User clicks toggle
├── Toggle class="dark" on <html>
└── Write localStorage('theme') = 'dark' | 'light'
```
---
## 2. Color Token Design
### Current Palette (Light Mode Baseline)
The existing system uses three palettes from `tailwind.config.mjs`:
| Palette | Base | Usage |
|---------|------|-------|
| `primary` | `#0891b2` (Cyan-600) | Interactive elements, CTAs, links |
| `secondary` | `#1e293b` (Slate-800) | Text, backgrounds, borders |
| `accent` | `#f59e0b` (Amber-500) | Highlights, badges, warnings |
### Semantic Token Mapping
Rather than exposing raw palette values, components consume **semantic tokens**:
#### Surface Tokens (Backgrounds)
| Token | Light Value | Dark Value | Usage |
|-------|-------------|------------|-------|
| `--surface-base` | `#ffffff` | `#0f172a` (slate-950) | Page background |
| `--surface-raised` | `#f8fafc` (slate-50) | `#1e293b` (slate-800) | Cards, panels |
| `--surface-overlay` | `#f1f5f9` (slate-100) | `#334155` (slate-700) | Hover states, nav |
| `--surface-sunken` | `#e2e8f0` (slate-200) | `#0f172a` (slate-950) | Input backgrounds |
| `--surface-inverse` | `#0f172a` (slate-950) | `#f8fafc` (slate-50) | Dark sections in light mode |
#### Text Tokens
| Token | Light Value | Dark Value | WCAG Ratio (Dark) |
|-------|-------------|------------|-------------------|
| `--text-primary` | `#0f172a` (slate-950) | `#f1f5f9` (slate-100) | 16.7:1 ✅ AAA |
| `--text-secondary` | `#475569` (slate-600) | `#94a3b8` (slate-400) | 4.7:1 ✅ AA |
| `--text-muted` | `#94a3b8` (slate-400) | `#64748b` (slate-500) | 3.2:1 ⚠️ AA Large only |
| `--text-inverse` | `#ffffff` | `#0f172a` (slate-950) | High contrast |
| `--text-link` | `#0891b2` (cyan-600) | `#22d3ee` (cyan-400) | 4.5:1 ✅ AA |
| `--text-link-hover` | `#0e7490` (cyan-700) | `#67e8f9` (cyan-300) | 5.9:1 ✅ AA |
#### Border Tokens
| Token | Light Value | Dark Value | Usage |
|-------|-------------|------------|-------|
| `--border-subtle` | `#e2e8f0` (slate-200) | `#1e293b` (slate-800) | Cards, dividers |
| `--border-default` | `#cbd5e1` (slate-300) | `#334155` (slate-700) | Inputs, panels |
| `--border-strong` | `#94a3b8` (slate-400) | `#475569` (slate-600) | Focused elements |
| `--border-interactive` | `#0891b2` (cyan-600) | `#0891b2` (cyan-600) | Active/focus rings |
#### Brand/Interactive Tokens
| Token | Light Value | Dark Value | Notes |
|-------|-------------|------------|-------|
| `--brand-primary` | `#0891b2` | `#0891b2` | Same — primary color unchanged |
| `--brand-primary-hover` | `#0e7490` | `#0e7490` | Same hover |
| `--brand-primary-subtle` | `#ecfeff` (cyan-50) | `rgba(8,145,178,0.15)` | Tinted bg for badges |
| `--brand-primary-text` | `#0e7490` (cyan-700) | `#22d3ee` (cyan-400) | Text on subtle bg |
| `--brand-accent` | `#f59e0b` | `#fbbf24` (amber-400) | Amber slightly lighter dark |
| `--brand-accent-subtle` | `#fffbeb` (amber-50) | `rgba(245,158,11,0.15)` | Tinted bg |
#### Shadow Tokens (Dark Mode Adjustment)
Shadows are lighter-opacity in dark mode (dark surfaces don't need heavy shadows):
| Token | Light Value | Dark Value |
|-------|-------------|------------|
| `--shadow-sm` | `0 1px 2px rgba(0,0,0,0.05)` | `0 1px 2px rgba(0,0,0,0.3)` |
| `--shadow-md` | `0 4px 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.1)` | `0 4px 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.4)` |
| `--shadow-lg` | `0 10px 15px rgba(0,0,0,0.1)` | `0 10px 15px rgba(0,0,0,0.5)` |
| `--shadow-card` | `0 4px 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.05)` | `0 0 0 1px rgba(255,255,255,0.08)` |
> **Note:** In dark mode, borders often replace shadows for depth perception. The `--shadow-card` dark value uses a subtle border-like ring instead.

## 4. Tailwind Configuration
### Changes to `tailwind.config.mjs`
```js
export default {
darkMode: 'class', // ADD THIS — enables .dark class strategy
content: ['./src/**/*.{astro,html,js,jsx,md,mdx,svelte,ts,tsx,vue}'],
theme: {
extend: {
// ... existing colors stay as-is ...
// ADD: Semantic color aliases using CSS custom properties
// These allow `bg-surface`, `text-text-primary`, etc. in Tailwind classes
colors: {
// ... existing primary/secondary/accent palettes ...
// Semantic theme-aware colors
surface: {
base: 'var(--surface-base)',
raised: 'var(--surface-raised)',
overlay: 'var(--surface-overlay)',
sunken: 'var(--surface-sunken)',
inverse: 'var(--surface-inverse)',
},
'theme-text': {
primary: 'var(--text-primary)',
secondary: 'var(--text-secondary)',
muted: 'var(--text-muted)',
inverse: 'var(--text-inverse)',
link: 'var(--text-link)',
},
'theme-border': {
subtle: 'var(--border-subtle)',
DEFAULT: 'var(--border-default)',
strong: 'var(--border-strong)',
interactive: 'var(--border-interactive)',
},
brand: {
primary: 'var(--brand-primary)',
'primary-subtle': 'var(--brand-primary-subtle)',
'primary-text': 'var(--brand-primary-text)',
accent: 'var(--brand-accent)',
'accent-subtle': 'var(--brand-accent-subtle)',
'accent-text': 'var(--brand-accent-text)',
},
},
},
},
};
```
> **Migration note:** Existing classes like `bg-white`, `text-secondary-800` continue to work unchanged. The new semantic tokens are additive — migrate components incrementally using `bg-surface-base`, `text-theme-text-primary`, etc.

## 5. FOUC Prevention (No Flash)
### The Problem
On page load, the browser renders HTML before JavaScript runs. Without a synchronous theme script:
1. Page renders in light mode (default CSS)
2. JS reads localStorage, applies `dark` class
3. Page flashes light → dark
### Solution: Inline Blocking Script in `<head>`
Add this **before any stylesheets** in `BaseLayout.astro`:
```html
<!-- THEME INIT: Must be inline and blocking to prevent flash -->
<script is:inline>
(function() {
try {
var stored = localStorage.getItem('theme');
var prefersDark = window.matchMedia('(prefers-color-scheme: dark)').matches;
if (stored === 'dark' || (!stored && prefersDark)) {
document.documentElement.classList.add('dark');
} else {
document.documentElement.classList.remove('dark');
}
} catch (e) {
// localStorage blocked (private browsing) — fall through to light mode
}
})();
</script>
```
**Placement in `BaseLayout.astro`:**
```html
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<!-- ... other meta tags ... -->
<!-- MUST be first script, before any stylesheets load -->
<script is:inline>
(function() {
try {
var s = localStorage.getItem('theme');
var p = window.matchMedia('(prefers-color-scheme: dark)').matches;
if (s === 'dark' || (!s && p)) document.documentElement.classList.add('dark');
} catch(e) {}
})();
</script>
<!-- Critical CSS (existing) -->
<style is:inline>...</style>
```
**Why `is:inline`?** Astro's `is:inline` directive keeps the script un-processed, ensuring it runs synchronously as a render-blocking script — exactly what we need to read localStorage before paint.
**Why IIFE?** Scope isolation. No global variable pollution.
**Why `try/catch`?** `localStorage` throws in some private browsing contexts. Graceful fallback to light mode.

## 6. Theme Switching Logic
### ThemeToggle Component: `src/components/ThemeToggle.astro`
```astro
---
// ThemeToggle.astro
// Renders a sun/moon toggle button that persists theme to localStorage
---
<button
id="theme-toggle"
type="button"
aria-label="Toggle dark mode"
aria-pressed="false"
class="theme-toggle-btn relative w-10 h-10 flex items-center justify-center rounded-lg text-theme-text-secondary hover:text-theme-text-primary hover:bg-surface-overlay transition-colors duration-200 focus-visible:outline-none focus-visible:ring-2 focus-visible:ring-brand-primary focus-visible:ring-offset-2"
>
<!-- Sun icon (shown in dark mode — click to go light) -->
<svg
class="sun-icon w-5 h-5 hidden dark:block"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
fill="none"
viewBox="0 0 24 24"
stroke="currentColor"
stroke-width="2"
aria-hidden="true"
>
<path stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" d="M12 3v1m0 16v1m9-9h-1M4 12H3m15.364 6.364l-.707-.707M6.343 6.343l-.707-.707m12.728 0l-.707.707M6.343 17.657l-.707.707M16 12a4 4 0 11-8 0 4 4 0 018 0z" />
</svg>
<!-- Moon icon (shown in light mode — click to go dark) -->
<svg

xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
fill="none"
viewBox="0 0 24 24"
stroke="currentColor"
stroke-width="2"
aria-hidden="true"
>
<path stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" d="M20.354 15.354A9 9 0 018.646 3.646 9.003 9.003 0 0012 21a9.003 9.003 0 008.354-5.646z" />
</svg>
</button>
<script>
const btn = document.getElementById('theme-toggle');
const html = document.documentElement;
function getTheme(): 'dark' | 'light' {
return html.classList.contains('dark') ? 'dark' : 'light';
}
function setTheme(theme: 'dark' | 'light') {
if (theme === 'dark') {
html.classList.add('dark');
} else {
html.classList.remove('dark');
}
try {
localStorage.setItem('theme', theme);
} catch (e) {}
// Update aria-pressed for screen readers
btn?.setAttribute('aria-pressed', theme === 'dark' ? 'true' : 'false');
// Dispatch event for other components that need to respond
window.dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent('themechange', { detail: { theme } }));
}
// Sync initial aria-pressed state
btn?.setAttribute('aria-pressed', getTheme() === 'dark' ? 'true' : 'false');
// Toggle on click
btn?.addEventListener('click', () => {
setTheme(getTheme() === 'dark' ? 'light' : 'dark');
});
// Listen for OS-level preference changes (user changes system setting)
window.matchMedia('(prefers-color-scheme: dark)').addEventListener('change', (e) => {
// Only auto-switch if user hasn't set an explicit preference
const stored = (() => { try { return localStorage.getItem('theme'); } catch { return null; } })();
if (!stored) {
setTheme(e.matches ? 'dark' : 'light');
}
});
</script>
```
### Integration in `Header.astro`
Add `<ThemeToggle />` in the desktop CTA section and mobile menu footer:
```astro
---
import ThemeToggle from './ThemeToggle.astro';
---
<!-- Desktop CTA area (existing) -->
<div class="hidden lg:flex items-center gap-4">
<ThemeToggle />
<a href="/contact" class="btn-primary text-sm">Get Started ...</a>
</div>
<!-- Mobile menu footer (existing) -->
<div class="p-4 border-t border-theme-border-subtle">
<div class="flex items-center justify-between mb-3">
<span class="text-sm text-theme-text-muted">Appearance</span>
<ThemeToggle />
</div>
<a href="/contact" class="btn-primary w-full justify-center">...</a>
</div>
```
### Advanced: Smooth Theme Transition (Optional Enhancement)
Add to `global.css` to smooth the color transition when toggling (not on initial load, to avoid FOUC):
```css
/* Applied by JS after initial load to enable smooth transitions */
html.theme-transitions,
html.theme-transitions *,
html.theme-transitions *::before,
html.theme-transitions *::after {
transition: background-color 200ms ease, color 200ms ease, border-color 200ms ease !important;
}
```
```js
// In ThemeToggle script — enable transitions after first interaction
let transitionsEnabled = false;
btn?.addEventListener('click', () => {
if (!transitionsEnabled) {
document.documentElement.classList.add('theme-transitions');
transitionsEnabled = true;
}
setTheme(getTheme() === 'dark' ? 'light' : 'dark');
});
```

## 7. Component Migration Guide
### Migration Priority
Components are categorized by migration effort:
#### Tier 1 — Critical Path (Header, Footer, BaseLayout)
These affect every page. Migrate first.
| Component | Current Class | Migrate To |
|-----------|--------------|------------|
| `Header.astro` | `bg-white/95` | `bg-surface-base/95` |
| `Header.astro` | `border-secondary-100` | `border-theme-border-subtle` |
| `Header.astro` | `text-secondary-600` | `text-theme-text-secondary` |
| `Header.astro` | `bg-white` (mobile panel) | `bg-surface-raised` |
| `BaseLayout.astro` | `bg-white` (body) | `bg-surface-base` |
| `BaseLayout.astro` | `text-secondary-800` (body) | `text-theme-text-primary` |
#### Tier 2 — Shared Components (Card, Badge, SectionHeader)
Reusable components; high leverage.
| Component | Pattern | Migration |
|-----------|---------|-----------|
| `Card.astro` | `bg-white border-secondary-100` | `bg-surface-raised border-theme-border-subtle` |
| `Badge.astro` | `bg-primary-50 text-primary-700` | `bg-brand-primary-subtle text-brand-primary-text` |
| `SectionHeader.astro` | `text-secondary-900` | `text-theme-text-primary` |
#### Tier 3 — Page Sections
Individual page heroes, sections. Migrate last.
**Dark sections (hero gradients) stay as-is** — they already use `bg-secondary-900` etc. which works in both modes. Only light-mode sections (white/slate-50 backgrounds) need migration.
### The Two-Pattern Rule
Every component that renders differently per theme should use **one of two patterns**:
**Pattern A: CSS Variables (preferred for complex components)**
```html
<!-- Component uses tokens directly -->
<div class="bg-surface-raised border border-theme-border-subtle text-theme-text-primary">
```
**Pattern B: Tailwind dark: variants (for simple overrides)**
```html
<!-- Use dark: prefix for one-off overrides -->
<div class="bg-white dark:bg-slate-800 text-slate-900 dark:text-slate-100">
```
> **Rule:** Prefer Pattern A (semantic tokens) for new and refactored components. Use Pattern B only for quick one-off overrides during migration. Do not mix patterns in the same component.
### Component: `global.css` Class Migrations
Key utility classes need dark variants:
```css
/* BEFORE */
.card {
@apply bg-white rounded-2xl border-2 border-secondary-100 transition-all duration-500;
}
/* AFTER */
.card {
@apply bg-surface-raised rounded-2xl border-2 border-theme-border-subtle transition-all duration-500;
}
```
```css
/* BEFORE */
.form-input {
@apply ... border-secondary-300 ... text-secondary-900 placeholder-secondary-400 bg-white;
}
/* AFTER */
.form-input {
@apply ... border-theme-border-default ... text-theme-text-primary placeholder-theme-text-muted bg-surface-sunken;
}
```
```css
/* Scrollbar — migrate to CSS var tokens */
::-webkit-scrollbar-track { background: var(--scrollbar-track); }
::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb { background: var(--scrollbar-thumb); border-radius: 5px; }
::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb:hover { background: var(--scrollbar-thumb-hover); }

## 8. Accessibility & WCAG Compliance
### Contrast Ratio Reference
All token pairs must meet WCAG 2.1 AA (4.5:1 normal text, 3:1 large text/UI).
#### Light Mode Pairs
| Foreground Token | Background Token | Foreground Hex | Background Hex | Ratio | Level |
|-----------------|-----------------|----------------|----------------|-------|-------|
| `--text-primary` | `--surface-base` | `#0f172a` | `#ffffff` | **17.7:1** | AAA ✅ |
| `--text-secondary` | `--surface-base` | `#475569` | `#ffffff` | **7.0:1** | AAA ✅ |
| `--text-muted` | `--surface-base` | `#94a3b8` | `#ffffff` | **3.0:1** | AA Large ⚠️ |
| `--text-primary` | `--surface-raised` | `#0f172a` | `#f8fafc` | **17.2:1** | AAA ✅ |
| `--brand-primary-text` | `--brand-primary-subtle` | `#0e7490` | `#ecfeff` | **5.2:1** | AA ✅ |
| white | `--brand-primary` | `#ffffff` | `#0891b2` | **4.6:1** | AA ✅ |
#### Dark Mode Pairs
| Foreground Token | Background Token | Foreground Hex | Background Hex | Ratio | Level |
|-----------------|-----------------|----------------|----------------|-------|-------|
| `--text-primary` | `--surface-base` | `#f1f5f9` | `#0f172a` | **16.7:1** | AAA ✅ |
| `--text-secondary` | `--surface-base` | `#94a3b8` | `#0f172a` | **8.5:1** | AAA ✅ |
| `--text-muted` | `--surface-base` | `#64748b` | `#0f172a` | **4.7:1** | AA ✅ |
| `--text-primary` | `--surface-raised` | `#f1f5f9` | `#1e293b` | **11.2:1** | AAA ✅ |
| `--text-link` | `--surface-base` | `#22d3ee` | `#0f172a` | **9.8:1** | AAA ✅ |
| `--brand-primary-text` | `--brand-primary-subtle` | `#22d3ee` | `rgba(8,145,178,0.15)≈#0f1e21` | **~9.1:1** | AAA ✅ |
| white | `--brand-primary` | `#ffffff` | `#0891b2` | **4.6:1** | AA ✅ |
> **Note on `--text-muted` in light mode:** At 3.0:1 ratio, it only passes WCAG AA for large text (18pt+ or 14pt bold). Use `--text-muted` only for supplementary/decorative text, never for primary content. This matches its intended purpose.
### Keyboard & Focus
The `ThemeToggle` button:
- Uses semantic `<button>` element (keyboard accessible automatically)
- Has `aria-label="Toggle dark mode"`
- Has `aria-pressed` reflecting current state
- Uses `focus-visible:ring-2` for keyboard focus ring
- No tabindex manipulation needed
### Announcements for Screen Readers
Optionally add a live region to announce theme changes:
```html
<!-- In BaseLayout.astro, near end of <body> -->
<div
id="theme-announcement"
role="status"
aria-live="polite"
aria-atomic="true"
class="sr-only"
></div>
```
```js
// In ThemeToggle script
function setTheme(theme) {
// ... existing logic ...
const announcement = document.getElementById('theme-announcement');
if (announcement) {
announcement.textContent = `${theme === 'dark' ? 'Dark' : 'Light'} mode activated`;
}
}
```
### Reduced Motion
Ensure theme transitions respect `prefers-reduced-motion`:
```css
@media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce) {
html.theme-transitions,
html.theme-transitions *,
html.theme-transitions *::before,
html.theme-transitions *::after {
transition: none !important;
}
}
```

## 9. Performance Considerations
### Critical Path Analysis
| Action | Blocking? | Impact |
|--------|-----------|--------|
| Inline theme script (FOUC prevention) | Yes — intentionally | < 0.1ms — negligible |
| `localStorage.getItem()` | Synchronous | < 0.05ms |
| `classList.add('dark')` | Synchronous | CSS recalc: ~1ms |
| ThemeToggle button render | No | Part of normal layout |
| CSS custom property swap | CSS engine | ~1-2ms per toggle |
**Total FOUC prevention cost: ~0.15ms** — well within acceptable range.
### Bundle Size
- `ThemeToggle.astro` script: ~800 bytes (minified ~400 bytes)
- CSS custom properties additions: ~3KB raw, ~1.2KB gzipped
- Tailwind semantic color additions: ~2KB additional utilities (tree-shaken)
**Total addition: ~2KB gzipped** — negligible.
### CSS Custom Properties vs. Class Duplication
Using CSS custom properties instead of duplicating every utility class in a `.dark` variant:
- **Without tokens:** ~200 dark: variant classes across all components = ~15KB extra CSS
- **With tokens:** 50 CSS custom properties, updated once on `<html>` = ~3KB
**Tokens approach is ~5x smaller.**
### Avoiding Layout Shift
The inline script runs before CSS parsing completes when placed at the very top of `<head>`. Since it only adds/removes a class (no DOM mutations that change dimensions), CLS is 0.
### Images in Dark Mode
No special handling needed — images don't change per theme. However, consider:
- SVG illustrations: use `currentColor` for theme-aware icon colors
- Avoid white-background PNG logos — use SVG or transparent PNG
For images that look better in dark mode (e.g., screenshots on white backgrounds), use the CSS filter approach sparingly:
```css
/* Only for specific screenshot images in dark mode */
.dark .screenshot-img {
filter: invert(1) hue-rotate(180deg);
}
```
---
## 10. Implementation Phases
### Phase 1: Foundation (Required Before Any UI Work)
**Files to modify:**
1. `tailwind.config.mjs` — add `darkMode: 'class'`, semantic color tokens
2. `src/styles/global.css` — add CSS custom property tokens (`:root` + `:root.dark`)
3. `src/layouts/BaseLayout.astro` — add inline FOUC prevention script
**Estimated effort:** ~2 hours
**Risk:** Low — purely additive, zero breaking changes
---
### Phase 2: Toggle Component + Header Integration
**Files to create/modify:**
1. `src/components/ThemeToggle.astro` — new toggle button component
2. `src/components/Header.astro` — import and place ThemeToggle, migrate hardcoded colors
**Estimated effort:** ~3 hours
**Risk:** Low — isolated component changes
---
### Phase 3: Shared Components Migration
**Files to modify:**
1. `src/styles/global.css` — migrate `.card`, `.form-input`, `.badge-*`, `.btn-*` classes
2. `src/components/ui/Card.astro` — semantic tokens
3. `src/components/ui/Badge.astro` — semantic tokens
4. `src/components/ui/SectionHeader.astro` — semantic tokens
5. `src/components/Footer.astro` — dark/light surface tokens
**Estimated effort:** ~4 hours
**Risk:** Medium — affects all pages; thorough visual testing required
---
### Phase 4: Page-Level Migration
**Files to modify:**
1. `src/pages/index.astro` — light sections only (hero is already dark)
2. `src/pages/about.astro` — team grid, stats sections
3. `src/pages/services.astro` — service cards, feature lists
4. `src/pages/contact.astro` — form, FAQ sections
5. `src/pages/portfolio.astro` — filter bar, project cards
6. `src/pages/blog/index.astro` — post cards, category filters
**Estimated effort:** ~8 hours
**Risk:** Medium — large surface area; automated Playwright screenshot tests recommended
---
### Phase 5: Testing & QA
1. **Visual regression:** Playwright screenshots in both modes across all viewports
2. **Contrast audit:** Run automated contrast checks on all text/background pairs
3. **FOUC test:** Disable JS, reload — ensure graceful fallback (light mode)
4. **System preference:** Toggle OS dark mode — verify auto-detection works
5. **localStorage persistence:** Toggle, navigate, refresh — verify preference persists
6. **Keyboard test:** Tab to toggle, press Space/Enter — verify toggle works
7. **Screen reader test:** Verify aria-label/aria-pressed announcements

## Appendix A: Quick Reference Cheat Sheet
```
BACKGROUNDS:
Page bg → bg-surface-base
Card/panel bg → bg-surface-raised
Hover/nav bg → bg-surface-overlay
Input bg → bg-surface-sunken
Dark section bg → bg-surface-inverse (or keep explicit bg-secondary-900)
TEXT:
Headings/body → text-theme-text-primary
Subtitles → text-theme-text-secondary
Captions/hints → text-theme-text-muted
On dark bg → text-theme-text-inverse
Links → text-theme-text-link
BORDERS:
Dividers/cards → border-theme-border-subtle
Inputs → border-theme-border-DEFAULT
Focused → border-theme-border-interactive
BRAND:
Primary actions → bg-brand-primary (same both modes)
Tinted badge bg → bg-brand-primary-subtle
Text on tinted → text-brand-primary-text
DO NOT CHANGE (works in both modes already):
- Hero/CTA dark gradient sections (bg-secondary-900, etc.)
- Primary brand color (#0891b2) buttons
- White text on primary/dark backgrounds
```

## 5. Screenshot Generation
A Playwright script is provided to auto-generate screenshots in both themes across all pages and viewports.
### Script Location
```
scripts/capture-theme-screenshots.js
```
### Prerequisites
```bash
# Install Playwright (already in devDependencies)
npm install
# Install browser binaries (first time only)
npx playwright install chromium
# Start dev server in another terminal
npm run dev
```
### Running Screenshots
```bash
# Generate all screenshots (both themes, all pages, 3 viewports)
node scripts/capture-theme-screenshots.js
# Output structure:
# .agents/frontend-specialist/screenshots/
# ├── light/
# │ ├── home-desktop.png (1440x900)
# │ ├── home-tablet.png (768x1024)
# │ ├── home-mobile.png (390x844)
# │ ├── about-desktop.png
# │ ├── about-tablet.png
# │ ├── about-mobile.png
# │ ├── services-desktop.png
# │ ├── services-tablet.png
# │ ├── services-mobile.png
# │ ├── portfolio-desktop.png
# │ ├── portfolio-tablet.png
# │ ├── portfolio-mobile.png
# │ ├── contact-desktop.png
# │ ├── contact-tablet.png
# │ └── contact-mobile.png
# └── dark/
# ├── home-desktop.png
# ├── (same structure as light/)
# └── ...
```
### Viewport Specifications
| Name | Width | Height | Device Context |
|---------|-------|--------|---------------------|
| desktop | 1440 | 900 | MacBook Pro 14" |
| tablet | 768 | 1024 | iPad |
| mobile | 390 | 844 | iPhone 14 |
### Full Page vs Viewport
The script captures **full-page screenshots** (scrolled content) by default. For above-the-fold previews only, set `fullPage: false` in the script options.

## 6. Image Optimization Guide
### Recommended Formats for Screenshots
| Use Case | Format | Quality | Notes |
|-----------------------------|--------|---------|-----------------------------------|
| Documentation / guides | PNG | — | Lossless, exact colors |
| Web delivery / social media | WebP | 85% | ~30% smaller than PNG |
| JPEG fallback | JPEG | 80% | For browsers without WebP support |
| Thumbnails (< 200px wide) | WebP | 70% | Acceptable quality at small sizes |
### Optimization Commands
```bash
# Batch convert PNG screenshots to WebP (requires cwebp or sharp)
# Using sharp (Node.js):
npx sharp-cli --input ".agents/frontend-specialist/screenshots/**/*.png" \
--output ".agents/frontend-specialist/screenshots/optimized/" \
--format webp --quality 85
# Using ImageMagick (if available):
find .agents/frontend-specialist/screenshots -name "*.png" \
-exec convert {} -quality 85 {}.webp \;
# Using cwebp (Google WebP tools):
for f in .agents/frontend-specialist/screenshots/light/*.png; do
cwebp -q 85 "$f" -o "${f%.png}.webp"
done
```
### Expected File Sizes
| Screenshot Type | PNG (est.) | WebP (est.) | Reduction |
|----------------------|-------------|-------------|-----------|
| Desktop full-page | 800KB2MB | 200500KB | ~70% |
| Tablet full-page | 500KB1.2MB | 130300KB | ~70% |
| Mobile full-page | 300KB700KB | 80180KB | ~70% |
| Desktop viewport | 300600KB | 80160KB | ~70% |
### Lazy Loading for Documentation
When embedding screenshots in Markdown/HTML docs:
```html
<!-- Prefer WebP with PNG fallback -->
<picture>
<source srcset="screenshots/dark/home-desktop.webp" type="image/webp">
<img src="screenshots/dark/home-desktop.png"
alt="Home page in dark mode"
loading="lazy"
width="1440" height="900">
</picture>
```
---
## 7. Usage in Documentation
### Embedding in README or Docs
```markdown
## Theme Preview
### Light Mode
![Home Page Light](./screenshots/light/home-desktop.png)
### Dark Mode
![Home Page Dark](./screenshots/dark/home-desktop.png)
> Toggle theme using the sun/moon button in the header (desktop)
> or at the bottom of the mobile menu.
```
### Side-by-Side Comparison (HTML)
```html
<table>
<tr>
<th>Light Mode</th>
<th>Dark Mode</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><img src=".agents/frontend-specialist/screenshots/light/home-desktop.png"
alt="Home - Light" width="640"></td>
<td><img src=".agents/frontend-specialist/screenshots/dark/home-desktop.png"
alt="Home - Dark" width="640"></td>
</tr>
</table>
```
### Pages That Changed Most Between Themes
| Page | Visual Change Magnitude | Primary Differences |
|------------|-------------------------|---------------------------------|
| Home | High | Benefits + Testimonials sections |
| About | High | Timeline + Values cards |
| Services | Medium | Service cards + pricing |
| Portfolio | Medium | Filter bar + project grid |
| Contact | High | Form inputs (most noticeable) |
### Sections Unchanged Between Themes
These sections use static dark backgrounds and appear identical in both themes:
- Hero sections on all pages (slate-900 gradient)
- "How It Works" process section (Home)
- Stats banner (Home)
- CTA sections
- Footer
