Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

Allow browsers to apply light or dark themes to the http.server directory list according to the users prefered color scheme.

This can be done by adding the CSScolor-scheme property to:root with the valuelight dark.

:root {color-scheme: light dark;}

Has this already been discussed elsewhere?

This is a minor feature, which does not need previous discussion elsewhere

Something similar was discussed previously in#95812. There it wasrejected, as "[t]he listing [should] not contain any hardcoded colors".

I agree with this statement, but I think the page should allow browsers to select their own color scheme and don't see it as a "a problem either with [the] configuration or with the browser", as long as thecolor-scheme property is not set properly.
