[FeatureRequest] Light theme

[SanderSade]

Light theme for the website, please.

While dark themes are all the rage, they are unusable for most people with astigmatism (1, 2, 3), causing eye strain and headaches. Somewhere 30..50% of the population has astigmatism.

Hi SanderSade, I have created an Edge extension that may help with your issue.
msportals.io Edge Extension

While the extension looks really neat @tjames192, it'd be great for mobile, and situations where you can't use/install extensions, for the site to support a light theme.

[tjames192]

That is a good idea .. I hadn’t thought about that when implementing the extension. I’m not apposed to adding code to make the extension mobile friendly maybe that would be better suited for the main site or as a page.
Not sure what our options are .. maybe @adamfowlerit can comment.

Would love to have this option for accessibility reasons, go for it!

Looking at the source jekyll theme, there doesn't appear to be a Light variant... so instead I've had a go at creating one.

Live demo: https://jlaundry.github.io/msportals.io/

Thoughts/feedback please!

Instead of creating an explicit light/dark mode button, the way I've done this respects the user's browser setting, so if you're still seeing the Dark theme, you'll need to change your OS/Browser setting.

Thoughts/feedback please!

Works very well for me. Thank you!

Works great, but I'd also love to see a user controllable toggle - use the system default as the default msportals.io exp though!
