Add simple dark mode to http.server directory list and error pages #95812
Description
Feature or enhancement
A simple dark mode in http.server’s directory list and error pages, using white font on black background.
Pitch
To make the directory lists and error pages of the simple HTTP server from http.server more readable in dark environments, a simple dark mode support using a few lines of CSS could enhance user experience. I propose the following CSS code, which uses white font on black background when requested by the browser:
<style type="text/css">
@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
body {
background-color: #000;
color: #fff;
}
}
</style>
