DimWit uses CSS overrides and a lightweight MutationObserver to replace Lights Out colors with their Dim equivalents:
| Lights Out | Dim | Usage |
|---|---|---|
#000000 |
#15202B |
Main background |
#16181C |
#1A2734 |
Elevated surfaces |
#1D1F23 |
#1E2D3D |
Hover states |
#2F3336 |
#38444D |
Borders/dividers |
#202327 |
#253341 |
Input fields |
CSS handles static styles, the MutationObserver catches dynamically injected inline styles as X loads content.
The GitHub Actions workflow (.github/workflows/publish.yml) publishes automatically when you push a v* tag.
