Explain with highlit
Dark mode improves usability in low-light conditions and reduces eye strain. I implement theme switching with Tailwind's dark: variant and CSS custom properties for colors. The theme preference persists in localStorage and syncs across tabs with storage events. A context provider manages theme state globally, and a toggle component lets users switch modes. The initial theme detection checks localStorage first, then falls back to the system preference via prefers-color-scheme media query. I apply the theme class to the HTML element to enable Tailwind's dark mode. This pattern respects user preferences while providing manual override capability.
