Dark colors are shown in the background and borders of the command palette in light mode. This is due to the fact that :host-context is being used. This is a deprecated browser feature.

@oliviergoulet5 Thanks a lot for your contribution! I could reproduce the theming issue on firefox (so far I only tested on chrome based browsers). I also found 2 more deprecated host-context selectors and adopted to your approach of using semantic color tokens. |

Hello, I was curious and wanted to check out this project!
I noticed that the command palette continues to use dark theme colors when the application is in light mode. After investigating, it appears this is caused by the use of
:host-context()in the theme selectors, which is a deprecated browser feature.I was able to produce the issue in Firefox 151.0.4. Chrome does not appear to be affected at the moment.
This change removes
:host-context()CSS rules and updates the command palette styling so it correctly adapts to the active theme. I used Web Awesome's semantic CSS variables (surface, neutral-filled, etc.) rather than the exactneutralvariables that were previously in use, as it seemed to me like the simplest way to adapt to the active theme.This may result in some minor visual differences compared to the current implementation. If preserving the existing appearance is preferred, I'm happy to revisit the styling and adjust the variable selection.
