Hello everyone,

My name is Alankrit dabral.I have done my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Engineering from Graphic Era Hill University, followed by a six-month full-stack development internship where I built and maintained web applications.

This summer, I aim to achieve one of the goals I set during my college years: to actively contribute to an open-source project and further strengthen my skills through real-world collaboration.

Hello everyone,

I’ve been working on implementing dark theme for the website modernization and would appreciate feedback from the community.

What has been done (Changes Pr)

  • Implemented a consistent dark theme across the website

  • Created dedicated icons and SVG assets optimized for dark mode

  • Introduced a _light and _dark naming convention for images to enable theme-based switching

  • Generated dark-mode SVGs using the SVG Gobbler extension in VS Code

  • Produced dark-themed images using Google Gemini, followed by refinement in GIMP to improve styling and remove watermarks

  • Compressed images to > 500kb using pngquant

  • Added and adjusted CSS rules to ensure consistent rendering across components

Preview

You can view the current state of the website here: Website Preview

TODO

  • Fix remaining Pages/images to dark theme

  • Ensure consistent styling across the entire website

  • Fix broken or inconsistent CSS files

  • Resolve styling issues that existed prior to the dark theme implementation

Next steps

  • Reduced dependency on custom CSS by improving inline styling.
  • Upgrade Bootstrap css version and later move to Tailwind css for more performance and flexibility as i mentioned in my GSOC proposal.

I would really appreciate any feedback on:

  • Visual consistency and readability

  • Any UI issues or regressions

  • Suggestions for improving the dark theme

Thank you!
