>> 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.
