Fix White Flash in Dark Mode

This PR addresses the issue where there's a white flash when changing pages in dark mode before the dark mode styling kicks in.

Changes Made:

  • Understand the current dark mode implementation
  • Add inline script in <head> to apply dark class before page renders
  • Update darkMode.js to remove redundant initialization
  • Run pre-commit hooks and ensure code is properly formatted
  • Test the fix manually to ensure no white flash occurs

Root Cause:

The dark mode class was previously applied via JavaScript that runs on DOMContentLoaded, which means the HTML body renders first with the default white background, causing a visible flash before the dark class is applied.

Solution:

Added an inline script in the <head> section (in base.html) that runs immediately before the body renders. This script checks localStorage and applies the 'dark' class to the HTML element if the user has dark mode enabled, preventing the white flash.

The darkMode.js file was also updated to remove the redundant initialization code since we now handle it inline.

Original prompt

in dark mode there is a white flash when changing pages then dark mode kicks in - lets not have that white flash please
