Roundo: our new mobile-friendly theme, proposed to be set as default

[Laird]

In the absence of further issues and/or change requests, I think we're good to go with migrating this testing version of the theme to the main, default Roundo theme, which I'll rename from "Roundo Light" simply to "Roundo", now that it combines the "Light" and "Darko" variants. I'll wait a day or two in case there are any objections, and unless there are, I'll do that then.

I'm using dark mode exclusively now... didn't expect it... but there you are. Reading the site is so much easier now with these new responsive designs.

@Laird Are you swapping the default over to the new Roundo light/dark design?

[Laird]

@Max_B Yes, and I'm regretful of the delay in doing so, but I've had another task that I needed to prioritise, and which has taken longer than I would have liked. Hopefully, I'll finalise that task in the next hour or so and can then take care of the Roundo theme swap.

[Laird]

Am starting the process now. For those using the default theme ("Roundo Light"), there might be a few glitches until the process is complete.

[Laird]

The migration is now complete. I've deleted the testing/staging version of the theme to avoid confusion. Those who were using the testing/staging version should have been auto-switched to the new default, which is now identical.

Thank god dark mode is in.

I think @Laird should make Roundo default to dark, rather than white, as the default view. It's a much better, modern, experience for new visitors.

The current default is auto-detect (the rightmost colour mode icon), and, in that mode, Roundo respects any setting that the new visitor has made in their operating system or browser. I had set my preference in my KDE[1] settings to dark mode, so, by default, Roundo shows in dark mode for me, but other visitors might have explicitly set their setting to light, in which case, I think we should respect it rather than force dark mode on them. I'm not sure that there's much point to the auto-detect setting if we don't default to it! Other sites that I browse on the web respect my KDE setting too, at least when I use Firefox, which I quite like.

[1] KDE is the K Desktop Environment, which I use for my Linux desktop.

Obviously I'm only suggesting this, if they have no light preference set, i.e. default 'Automatic' in foxfire... currently the site defaults to light, I'm just suggesting it defaults to dark?
