Hey all, Following-up to the dark mode work from December. After launching the registry site (https://airflow.apache.org/registry/), I noticed the main site and docs looked flat in comparison. The registry has deeper backgrounds and a more modern feel. So I spent some time bringing them closer.
Check: https://airflow.apache.org/ | https://airflow.apache.org/docs/apache-airflow/3.2.0/security/index.html Swapped Bootstrap's default gray (#212529) for a deeper navy-black (#0f1117), added a cyan accent color that matches the registry, killed the invisible gradient overlay Bootstrap was adding to buttons/navbar, and made the navbar more compact. Also replaced the 3-option dropdown theme toggle with a sun/moon pill toggle. One click instead of two. All in PRs #1501 <https://github.com/apache/airflow-site/pull/1501> through #1504 <https://github.com/apache/airflow-site/pull/1504> on apache/airflow-site. Found a couple bugs along the way too. Text selection was blocked by invisible full-width sticky containers for the scroll-to-top and suggest-change buttons (#1503). And the theme toggle wasn't deploying to production because Docsy moved from partials/ to _partials/ and our override was in the wrong directory (#1504). Both fixed. If you spot anything off, PRs welcome.
