> Please review an enhancement to add a dark theme to javadoc-generated API documentation. There is a new button in the top right corner that brings up a menu to switch between themes. Available options are "Light", "Dark", and "System Setting" (following the system-wide theme setting). The selected theme is stored and preserved across browser sessions.
> 
> Generated docs [can be viewed here](https://cr.openjdk.org/~hannesw/8342705/api.03/java.base/java/lang/package-summary.html) (module `java.base` only). 
> 
> Screenshots below show both themes and how to switch between them.
