Implement theme selection functionality

Theme Selection Implementation - FIXED ✅

🛠️ Issue Resolved

Problem: Theme selector showed the correct selected theme but the application UI didn't change when switching themes.

Root Cause: The useTheme hook was being called in both App.tsx and ThemeSelector.tsx as separate instances, meaning they didn't share state. When ThemeSelector changed themes, App component wasn't aware of the change.

Solution: Implemented React Context pattern to share theme state across all components.

🎨 Features Working

• Theme management system - Now uses React Context for shared state management
• Multiple theme variants - Light, Dark, and Compact themes all working
• Theme selector UI component - Dropdown in header functions correctly
• Theme persistence - Saves user preference to localStorage and restores on page load
• Live theme switching - Instant theme changes across entire application
• Cross-component compatibility - All components update simultaneously

🖼️ Screenshots - All Themes Working

Before Fix (Theme not applying):

📁 Files Modified

• UPDATED: src/hooks/useTheme.tsx - Converted to React Context with ThemeProvider component
• UPDATED: src/App.tsx - Wrapped application with ThemeProvider and moved theme logic to AppContent component
• UNCHANGED: src/components/ThemeSelector.tsx - No changes needed, now uses shared context
• UNCHANGED: src/components/MainLayout.tsx - No changes needed

🔧 Technical Implementation

// Before: Separate hook instances (broken)
function App() {
  const { themeConfig } = useTheme(); // Instance 1
}
function ThemeSelector() {
  const { changeTheme } = useTheme(); // Instance 2 (isolated)
}

// After: Shared React Context (working)
<ThemeProvider>
  <AppContent /> {/* Uses shared theme state */}
    <ThemeSelector /> {/* Uses same shared theme state */}
</ThemeProvider>

✅ Testing Verified

• All three themes (Light, Dark, Compact) switch correctly
• Visual changes apply instantly across entire application
• Theme preference persists after page refresh
• All components render correctly in each theme
• Build compiles successfully without errors

The theme switching functionality is now fully operational! 🎉

Theme switching is now working correctly! The issue was that the useTheme hook was being used as separate instances in different components, so they weren't sharing state.

Fixed in commit ac8e92b by implementing React Context pattern:

• Converted useTheme to use React Context with ThemeProvider
• Wrapped the entire app with ThemeProvider for shared state
• All components now update simultaneously when theme changes

Verified working:

• ✅ Light theme switches correctly
• ✅ Dark theme switches correctly
• ✅ Compact theme switches correctly
• ✅ Theme persists after page refresh
• ✅ All UI components update instantly
