Add minimalist theme switcher with rich/minimal theme options

[Copilot]

Implements a theme switcher that allows users to toggle between a rich theme (current design) and a new minimal theme for better accessibility and user preference.

🎨 Features Added

Theme Switcher Component

• Accessible toggle button with descriptive icons (🎨 for Rich, 🖥️ for Minimal)
• Persistent storage - user preference saved in localStorage
• Intuitive labeling - button shows the theme you can switch TO
• Smooth transitions between themes

Two Theme Options

1. Rich Theme (Default):

   • Dark gradient backgrounds with glassmorphic effects
   • Purple/pink accent colors (#6a82fb, #fc5c7d)
   • Floating visual elements and animations
   • Current design preserved

2. Minimal Theme (New):

   • Clean light backgrounds (#f8f9fa)
   • Simple blue accents (#007bff)
   • No gradients, blur effects, or visual flourishes
   • Simplified, accessible design

🔧 Technical Implementation

Architecture

• React Context API for global theme state management
• ThemeProvider wraps entire app with theme context
• CSS body classes (theme-rich / theme-minimal) for styling
• localStorage persistence across browser sessions

Files Added

• src/context/ThemeContext.jsx - Theme state management
• src/components/ThemeSwitcher.jsx - Toggle button component

Files Modified

• src/App.jsx - Added ThemeProvider wrapper
• src/pages/landing page/landing.jsx - Added theme switcher to navigation
• src/pages/PDF-Editor/editor.jsx - Added theme switcher to editor header
• src/pages/landing page/landing.css - Added minimal theme styles
• src/pages/PDF-Editor/editor.css - Added minimal theme styles

📸 Visual Comparison

Rich Theme (Default)

Minimal Theme (New)

✅ Testing

• Theme switching works on both landing and editor pages
• Theme preferences persist across page refreshes
• Production build compatibility verified
• No breaking changes to existing functionality
• Responsive design maintained in both themes
• Accessibility considerations implemented

🚀 User Experience

The theme switcher provides users with choice over their visual experience:

• Rich Theme: Immersive, modern design with visual effects
• Minimal Theme: Clean, distraction-free interface focused on functionality

Theme choice is remembered across sessions, ensuring a consistent user experience.

Resolves the requirement to "add a minimalist theme switcher with current theme being not minimal" by making the current rich theme the default and providing a new minimal alternative.

The theme switcher is working correctly. It's visible on the landing page in the top navigation and fully functional - switching between "Rich" and "Minimal" themes. On the editor page, it's hidden until a PDF is uploaded (which is the intended behavior). The dependencies needed to be installed with npm install to make the react-icons work properly. The theme switcher is now fully operational with theme persistence across page refreshes.
