Feature Request: Light Theme / Light Mode #40

Description

@bluesky8318

Feature Request

First of all, I want to say I'm really impressed with Switchboard. The session management experience is excellent — unified view across all projects, full-text search, built-in terminal, and status notifications are exactly what I needed. Great work!

Request

I'd like to request a light theme / light mode option for the UI.

Why

  • The current dark-only theme can be difficult to read in bright environments (e.g., working near windows with sunlight)
  • Some users simply prefer light backgrounds for extended reading sessions
  • Many competing tools (CC Switch, etc.) offer both light and dark modes

What I'm looking for

  • A toggle in Settings (or in the UI header) to switch between Dark and Light mode
  • Ideally, an option to follow the system theme (prefers-color-scheme)
  • Terminal theme should remain independent (it already has its own setting)

Current state

The entire UI is hardcoded dark in style.css (73KB). There's no prefers-color-scheme media query or data-theme attribute toggling. The only theme setting is Terminal Theme which only affects the terminal area.

Keep up the great work — I'm really bullish on this project's future!
