Theme toggle changes state, but the homepage styling stays almost the same #1117

Hi team,

I noticed an issue on https://wasmcloud.com while testing on April 3, 2026.

The theme toggle in the top-right appears to be working at a state level, but the homepage does not visibly switch in a meaningful way. As a result, it feels like light/dark mode support is only partially implemented.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open https://wasmcloud.com
  2. Click the theme toggle in the top-right corner
  3. Compare the page before and after switching themes
  4. Optionally, reload the page and test again

Expected behavior

Switching the theme should produce a clear visual difference across the homepage, including backgrounds, text, icons, and section styling.

Actual behavior

  • The toggle updates visually and appears interactive
  • The theme state changes, but most of the homepage still looks nearly the same
  • The page remains predominantly dark in both modes, so the light/dark switch does not feel complete from a user perspective

Impact

This creates a confusing experience because the UI suggests full theme support, but the homepage styling does not clearly reflect the selected mode.

Notes

This may be caused by homepage sections using hardcoded colors instead of shared theme variables or tokens.

If full light mode support is not intended yet, it may be better to temporarily hide the toggle on the homepage until both modes are visually supported.

Thanks!
