Description

Hi!

Some people (me included) prefer to use dark-mode websites for various reasons (I personally use dark mode as a more eyes-friendly mode). I use browser extensions for that like Dark Reader but they don't work wonderfully with the perf.rust-lang.org : color auto-replacement change the website appearance to something unrecognizable enough on graphs.

In this issue, I propose adding a dark mode toggle to the website that will switch between light and dark modes. By default, we can leave the light theme as it is right now.

I understand that the priority for the feature will be too low but maybe someday it will be implemented.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are mentioned. Start by locating the website's theme controls and graph-rendering entry points; done means a toggle switches between usable light and dark themes while preserving the existing light appearance and graph readability.
