Background

Tailwind CSS is already configured in the project, but no dark: variant classes are applied to any component. Users who prefer dark mode get no benefit from this configuration.

What to do

  • Enable darkMode: "class" (or "media") in tailwind.config.js if not already set.
  • Add a dark mode toggle to the navigation or settings area, persisting the user preference in localStorage.
  • Apply dark: variants to all major UI components (navigation, cards, tables, forms, buttons).

Acceptance criteria

  • Toggling dark mode switches the entire dashboard to a dark color scheme without any unstyled sections.
  • The dark/light preference persists across page reloads.
  • No accessibility contrast regression in light mode.

Roadmap: P2 Frontend — No dark mode.

## Background Tailwind CSS is already configured in the project, but no `dark:` variant classes are applied to any component. Users who prefer dark mode get no benefit from this configuration. ## What to do - Enable `darkMode: "class"` (or `"media"`) in `tailwind.config.js` if not already set. - Add a dark mode toggle to the navigation or settings area, persisting the user preference in `localStorage`. - Apply `dark:` variants to all major UI components (navigation, cards, tables, forms, buttons). ## Acceptance criteria - Toggling dark mode switches the entire dashboard to a dark color scheme without any unstyled sections. - The dark/light preference persists across page reloads. - No accessibility contrast regression in light mode. ## References Roadmap: P2 Frontend — No dark mode.

Triaged by repo manager. Assigning to @developer. Frontend work: add dark mode toggle and apply Tailwind dark: variants. Config file: frontend/tailwind.config.js. All pages under frontend/src/pages/ and components under frontend/src/components/ need dark: variants.

Triage (Repo Manager):

Priority: P2
Delegated to: @developer
Rationale: P2 Frontend - medium. Apply dark mode variants across all Tailwind components with toggle and localStorage persistence.

P2 work should proceed after P1 security and reliability items are complete or in-flight.

Triaged by repo manager: Still open. Only 4 files have minimal dark: variants (Login, Register, Layout, ProtectedRoute -- and only for the background gradient). The main content pages (Analysis, Analytics, Batch, Compare, About, AdminUsers) have zero dark mode variants. This is a medium-complexity frontend task affecting 8+ files. Delegating to @developer for implementation.

PR #1348 submitted to address this issue.

The existing CSS custom property system already handles dark mode for all non-chart UI elements (cards, text, backgrounds, borders) via the .dark class toggle and ThemeContext. The only gap was recharts components that accept imperative color strings -- tooltips, axis strokes, and label styles were hardcoded to dark-theme hex values.

The fix introduces a useChartTheme hook that reads the current theme and provides appropriate colors for both light and dark modes. Applied to Analytics.tsx (4 charts) and Batch.tsx (1 chart).

Status Update

This issue has been resolved by PR #1348 (merged).

What was done:

  • A useChartTheme hook was added to provide theme-aware color values for recharts components.
  • All hardcoded dark-theme colors in Analytics.tsx and Batch.tsx charts were replaced with dynamic values from the hook.
  • The broader dashboard already handled dark mode via CSS custom properties in index.css. The charts were the only remaining gap, and this is now fixed.

Acceptance criteria status:

  • Dark mode switches the entire dashboard to a dark color scheme (CSS variables handle most UI; hook handles charts)
  • Dark/light preference persists across page reloads (handled by ThemeContext + localStorage)
  • No accessibility contrast regression in light mode (light mode values match original design)

Issue closed automatically via merge commit.
