<img width="1470" height="956" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/210a803b-6b1a-475b-8502-f79731d4b60c" />

I noticed the light theme currently has several readability/contrast issues compared to dark mode. In particular, the textured background reduces text clarity in the hero and terminal sections, and some borders/UI elements become difficult to distinguish.

The overall aesthetic is great, but the foreground/background contrast in light mode may need adjustment for readability and accessibility.

I can try investigating possible CSS/theme adjustments if this would be a useful contribution.

Proposed Solution

Possible improvements could include:

  • reducing background texture opacity in light mode
  • increasing foreground/background contrast for hero text
  • improving terminal demo visibility
  • slightly darkening borders and section dividers in light theme
  • reviewing accessibility contrast ratios for text-heavy sections

The dark theme aesthetic is excellent already; this would mainly improve readability and accessibility consistency for the light theme.

Alternatives Considered

I considered whether this was simply display/device-specific, but the readability issue appears consistently across multiple sections of the landing page in light mode.

Dark mode already has much stronger visual hierarchy and readability, so this may mainly require light-theme-specific styling adjustments rather than a full redesign.
