    "light": "#7C75FF",
    "dark": "#4F46E5"
  }
}

Color	Usage
`primary`	Links, buttons, accents
`light`	Hover states, highlights
`dark`	Active states, dark mode accents

Use a color tool like Coolors or Realtime Colors to generate a harmonious palette.

Dark Mode

All themes include automatic dark mode. Jamdesk respects the user's system preference and provides a toggle in the navbar.

Testing Dark Mode

In your browser's developer tools:

Open the Elements panel
Press Cmd+Shift+P (Mac) or Ctrl+Shift+P (Windows)
Search for "Emulate CSS prefers-color-scheme: dark"

Or use the theme toggle in your docs navbar.

Dark Mode Colors

Your color palette automatically adapts to dark mode. The light color often becomes more prominent in dark mode for better contrast.

Typography

Themes include carefully selected font stacks:

Theme	Headings	Body
Jam	Inter	Inter
Nebula	Inter	System monospace
Pulsar	Inter	Inter

Custom Fonts

Custom font support is coming soon. For now, themes use system fonts that load instantly.
