Footer should have differnent color in dark mode #7

Description

As a user, I want the site footer to match the rest of the theme in both light and dark mode so that it looks consistent and visually polished.


🧠 Context

Right now, the footer styling in dark mode looks off because it doesn’t blend with the rest of the theme:

This issue stems from a temporary override added to src/css/custom.css:

.footer--dark {
  background-color: #1a1a1a !important;
}

This override works fine in light mode, but in dark mode, it no longer matches the navbar or overall page background.


🛠️ Implementation Plan

  1. Update the footer styling in custom.css

    • Use a @media query or [data-theme='dark'] selector to conditionally style the footer
  2. In Dark Mode:

    • Match the background color of the footer to the navbar or default dark background used across the site
  3. In Light Mode:

    • Keep the current #1a1a1a background color
  4. Test the fix

    • Toggle between light and dark mode to ensure the footer looks appropriate and seamless in both cases

✅ Acceptance Criteria

  • In light mode, the footer background color remains #1a1a1a
  • In dark mode, the footer background matches the navbar or site-wide dark color
  • No !important override is required in final implementation
  • Footer styling appears consistent with the rest of the theme
