Building Cursor Journal: March 5 Update
Written with Cursor Journal
Summary:
Today’s focus was on enhancing the configuration page's light/dark mode toggle and related functionalities. Key topics included:
1. Light/Dark Mode Toggle: Implemented a toggle to switch between light and dark modes on the config page, defaulting to the system theme.
2. Style Adjustment Issues: Worked on ensuring styles followed the chosen theme. Addressed issues where form elements, the Editor, and Preview displayed incorrectly in light mode.
3. Image Management: Uploaded new images to the public folder, including a logo for light mode and adjusted sidebar images accordingly.
4. Switch Component Update: Changed the Theme Preference dropdown to a shadcn switch component to enhance interface usability.
5. Theme Persistence Bug: Identified and reported a bug where the theme did not persist correctly when navigating away from and back to the config page. Noted discrepancies in the switch's visual state compared to the actual theme.
6. README Features Section: Added a Features section to the README, emphasizing major application features and including some emojis for visual engagement.
7. Mac Username Detection: Extended functionality to detect the user’s username on a Mac, and implemented a feature to automatically input the detected path into a designated input box.
Overall, things moved quickly but there were issues with boolean logic around the light/dark mode feature.
