How to set actual color for dark/white mode?

[itsmaty]

So you can chnage between dark & white mode, great.
But how to actually set the color for the background/text for certain mode.

So for drakmode the background is HEX #111111
Ho to chnage it to #00000 or any other color?

Available in v3, use backgroundColor theme option

took some time to figure this out but it works thanks

whats a bit confusing and not "expected behaviour" that you have to set the rgb code in a string and cant use the hex code
but as i looked into how this was actually implemented here: #2732
and how the css variable is used in the css is probably a tailwind thing and so wont be able to support hex codes.

that you have to set the rgb code in a string and cant use the hex code

yes, it was made since configurable backroundColor is used in some places with opacity and using hex requires more configuration and increasing client bundle size

this will be improved in Nextra v4 and using server components

@dimaMachina exciting to hear! Are there instructions for migrating to v3 (or v4?) - I tried manually installing one of the alpha packages but got peer dependency warnings and some errors when running.
