### UI / Appearance
DocuElevate supports a **dark mode** toggle in the navbar. Users can switch between light and dark themes at any time; their choice is stored in `localStorage` and persists across page reloads in the same browser.
Administrators can set the **site-wide default** colour scheme that is applied when a user has not yet made a personal choice:
| **Variable** | **Description** | **Default** |
|----------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------|
| `UI_DEFAULT_COLOR_SCHEME` | Default colour scheme for all users. Options: `system` (follow OS preference), `light`, `dark`. Users can always override with the navbar toggle. | `system` |
**How it works:**
1. On page load an inline script checks the user's `localStorage` preference first.
2. If no stored preference exists, the server-supplied `UI_DEFAULT_COLOR_SCHEME` is used.
3. When the value is `system` (the default), the OS-level `prefers-color-scheme` media query is respected.
4. Clicking the 🌙 / ☀️ toggle in the navbar saves the new preference to `localStorage` immediately.
**WCAG AA compliance:** All dark-mode colour pairs have been chosen with a minimum 4.5:1 contrast ratio for normal text and 3:1 for large text.
**Example:**
```dotenv
# Force dark mode for all users by default
UI_DEFAULT_COLOR_SCHEME=dark
```
