Introduction
DarkMode allows users to create a more personalized and productive experience. Instead of settling for standard dark UIs, users can tailor everything—from colors to component styles—to match their needs. This ability to theme interfaces brings flexibility and focus into everyday workflows.
Why Customize Your DarkMode Theme?
Custom themes help reduce distractions and improve visual clarity. Whether you’re building for accessibility or aesthetics, adjusting contrast and typography can make your workspace more efficient. Personalization isn’t just about looks—it’s about making tools feel right.
