re-add dark mode

[oplik0]

The new design is great, but unlike the older version it lacks dark mode.

I know that this is apparently worked on, but still - adding this issue to document this and perhaps inform others of the lack/status of this feature.

Everything in my system is set to use dark mode, including web sites using Dark Reader, but this doesn't work for deno.land, so now I have an actual headache from basically staring into a spotlight (it's late).

Dark Reader works for me on deno.land in Static and Filter(+) mode.

I was thinking about submiting a PR for this issue, but before, i have a couple of questions:

• Do yall think it is a good idea to use tailwind's experimental dark mode feature? If so, should we do it based on prefers-colors-scheme only or build a toggle somewhere ?
• It is required to stick to default tailwind's gray palette?
• Should I submit a PR only when the whole docs are with dark mode or it can be a work-in-progress-style PR ?

Hey @mumumilk, this issue is actually way more involved than it seems because we have user provided content on the website (e.g. https://deno.land/x/oak/README.md). Before starting on this we should discuss how we want user provided content to behave (what should it look like).

I think a good start would be to use the experimental dark mode feature in Tailwind with the prefers-color-scheme setting, and only style a few simple pages (/artwork, the homepage, /benchmarks). We can merge that and get some user feedback before we start styling markdown content.

Hey lucas. Is this response still accurate?

We have discussed this internally and have come to the conclusion that this is not something we are currently interested in due to various ongoing design works and complexity & maintainability of implementing this; as such I am closing this issue.
