```
|

### Dynamic CSS Variables
|
||||
|
||||
All colors are applied via CSS custom properties:

||||
```css

||||
:root {
|
||||
--color-primary: #DA22FF;
|
||||
--color-secondary: #FF69B4;
|
||||
--color-accent: #FFD700;
|
||||
--gradient-awesome: linear-gradient(...);
|
||||
/* ... and more */
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Gradient Classes
|
||||
|
||||
**Dynamic theme support:**
|
||||
```css
|
||||
.gradient-text {
|
||||
background: var(--gradient-awesome);
|
||||
-webkit-background-clip: text;
|
||||
-webkit-text-fill-color: transparent;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
.btn-awesome {
|
||||
background: var(--gradient-awesome);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
.bg-gradient-awesome {
|
||||
background: var(--gradient-awesome);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 📱 Usage
|
||||
|
||||
### Switching Themes
|
||||
|
||||
**For Users:**
|
||||
1. Click the theme icon in top-right header
|
||||
2. Select Light or Dark mode
|
||||
3. Choose from 8 color palettes
|
||||
4. See changes instantly!
|
||||
|
||||
**Persistence:**
|
||||
- Mode preference saved by `next-themes`
|
||||
- Palette choice saved in localStorage
|
||||
- Survives page refresh
|
||||
- Works across tabs
|
||||
|
||||
### For Developers
|
||||
|
||||
**Using theme colors in components:**
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
// CSS classes
|
||||
<div className="bg-gradient-awesome">...</div>
|
||||
<h1 className="gradient-text">Title</h1>
|
||||
<button className="btn-awesome">Click me</button>
|
||||
|
||||
// CSS variables
|
||||
<div style={{ color: 'var(--color-primary)' }}>Text</div>
|
||||
<div style={{ background: 'var(--gradient-awesome)' }}>Box</div>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Accessing theme in code:**
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
import { useTheme } from 'next-themes'
|
||||
|
||||
function MyComponent() {
|
||||
const { theme, setTheme } = useTheme()
|
||||
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<div>
|
||||
Current mode: {theme}
|
||||
<button onClick={() => setTheme('dark')}>
|
||||
Go Dark
|
||||
</button>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 🎨 Color Accessibility
|
||||
|
||||
All color combinations meet WCAG AA standards:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Light Mode:** Dark text on light backgrounds
|
||||
- **Dark Mode:** Light text on dark backgrounds
|
||||
- **Contrast Ratios:** All >= 4.5:1 for normal text
|
||||
- **Focus Rings:** High contrast with primary color
|
||||
- **Links:** Clear distinction from body text
|
||||
|
||||
## 🚀 Performance

||||
|
||||
### Optimizations
|
||||
- **CSS Variables** - No JavaScript for color changes
|
||||
- **LocalStorage** - Instant preference loading
|
||||
