Description

Blocker: we need to have a bit of recommendation from UX designers before we can start working on this.
For now we're simply leaving this here as a reminder.

Implement dark theme support in OpenWISP with a toggle option to switch between light and dark modes. By default, the theme should follow the system’s appearance settings but allow users to override it manually if desired.

The dark theme implementation can be inspired by the OpenWISP documentation site, which currently supports dark mode.

Research direction

Begin by reviewing the OpenWISP documentation site’s existing dark-mode implementation and the UX recommendation requested in the issue. Identify the relevant theme entry points after that guidance is available. Done means users can follow system appearance by default and switch between light and dark modes manually.
