Light mode features dark text on light backgrounds, offering positive contrast ideal for well-lit environments.
Dark mode features light text on dark backgrounds, reducing eye strain in low-light or nighttime conditions.
In the Theme section, upload an image for Light mode and/or an image for Dark mode.
📌 Please note
If no custom image is uploaded, the default image will be displayed.
