## Technical Implementation

### 1. CSS Variables System
- **Dark Theme Colors:**
  - Background: `#0b0f1a` → `var(--bg)`
  - Background Secondary: `#0e1424` → `var(--bg2)`
  - Background Tertiary: `#111827` → `var(--bg3)`
  - Background Dark: `#080d1a` → `var(--bg-dark)`
  - Text: `#cdd6e8` → `var(--text)`
  - Borders: `#1a2540` → `var(--border)`

- **Light Theme Colors:**
  - Background: `#f8fafc` → `var(--bg)`
  - Background Secondary: `#f1f5fb` → `var(--bg2)`
  - Background Tertiary: `#ffffff` → `var(--bg3)`
  - Background Dark: `#f0f4fa` → `var(--bg-dark)`
  - Text: `#1a2d48` → `var(--text)`
  - Borders: `#d4dce8` → `var(--border)`

### 2. Theme Context
- `ThemeContext.tsx` - Manages theme state and persistence
- Automatically saves user preference to localStorage
- Applied via `data-theme` attribute on root HTML element
