Expected Result:
'Visit the hub' control present on the main section of the page should be properly appear as interactive 'hyperlink' control as per the format of in 'Aquatic and Desert' modes. They must not display as static text in any theme.
User Experience:
People with visual disabilities who rely on high contrast themes to see content properly will be impacted if the 'Visit the hub' control appear as plain text in 'Aquatic' and 'Desert' modes. Without clear visual identification or interactive elements, users may be unable to identify the control. This limits their ability to navigate or refine data on the page. As a result, accessibility and usability are significantly reduced for affected users.
