[Docs] Dark Theme?

[B-Reif]

By default, docusaurus's classic theme provides a Dark mode. It looks like the Redux docusaurus config has explicitly disabled the dark mode.

It looks like Redux is already using the Docusaurus classic theme, with some custom styles. What would it take to enable the docusaurus dark mode?

There was some prior discussion on this when we transitioned to DS v2 for Redux Toolkit, with the conclusion that dark theme didn't mesh well for Redux's colors. See reduxjs/redux-toolkit#247 (comment) .

I'm not against having a dark theme, but I have no time to put into it myself and no expertise on that. My focus is on reworking our content.

If someone else can figure out what a reasonably correct set of dark theme colors would look like, we can look at getting that in, but it'll have to be a community-driven thing.

I think the version we started with had an incomplete version of it? If you want to make a PR to enable it, go right ahead.

I'll investigate. Is there a set of brand guidelines for Redux colors? Some of the custom css will have to change to maintain good contrast ratios. I'll try just lightening them for now.

Nope, it's always been made up as we go along. Whatever looks good :)
