The current UI uses a very bright white/light colour scheme. During long coding sessions — especially late at night or in low-light environments — this causes significant eye strain for developers.
I'm requesting the following:
- A dark mode toggle in the UI header or settings panel
- System preference detection — automatically switch based on OS dark/light mode
- A high-contrast mode option for accessibility
- Persisted preference across sessions (saved to user profile)
This is one of the most commonly requested features in many internal tools at ValueLabs. It would directly improve developer experience and productivity.

Thanks for this well-detailed suggestion, Alex! We've moved this to Under Review. Our team is evaluating the technical approach — we're leaning towards CSS custom properties for theme switching. We'll share an update by end of May.

100% agree with this. The system preference detection would be the MVP — users shouldn't have to manually toggle every time.

A high-contrast mode would also help with accessibility compliance. We have team members with photosensitivity issues and the current bright background is genuinely difficult for extended use.

I'd also suggest saving the preference server-side rather than in localStorage — so it follows users across devices and browsers.
