The theme engine applies classes and attributes to <html>:
/* Target by attribute (recommended) */
[data-theme='dark'] {
--bg: #000;
}
[data-theme='light'] {
--bg: #fff;
}
/* Target by class (for system vs explicit) */
.theme-dark {
/* explicit dark */
}
.theme-system-dark {
/* system detected dark */
}
/* Scheme-specific */
.scheme-spells {
--accent: #7c3aed;
