    This #CiviCRM PR (github.com/civicrm/civicrm-cor) –just merged after 10 weeks, all 86 comments of it– is a microcosm of what I love about #FOSS and Civi as a FOSS #techforgood community:

    — The new River theme framework in Civi 6.0 last year introduced dark-mode that can be set once for all users.
    - The International Union for Conservation of Nature (iucn.org) funded making this a per-user dark-mode toggle for their own Civi setup.
    — Vangelis Pantazis of #Ixiam – Spain's biggest Civi agency – who'd done the original work, then put a lot more time to get this good to merge into Civi core. This has taken lots of core & community contributions and review.
    — From my side, it meant tidying the CSS, merging it fully with River, then testing the new toggle against all the current sub-themes (Streams), in light and dark-mode.
    — Then Ben Walpole from Core swapped it from cookie storage to a user dbse setting so it persists.
    — And in ~three months, every Civi user can benefit from it.
