Description

When using the documentatin in dark mode, the results under the usage examples on the hooks pages are very light gray on a white background and becomes very hard to see.

I’m happy to help with a PR if there’s agreement on the expected behavior or design direction.

Here are some of them:

Research direction
This issue is a CSS contrast fix for dark mode. The documentation pages use a light background for usage examples in dark mode, making text hard to read. To resolve, inspect the CSS for the relevant component (likely within docs/src) and add a dark mode media query (`prefers color scheme: dark`) to adjust colors. Check the current styling for the results section and modify it to have sufficient contrast (e.g., dark background with light text). There are no linked PRs or assignees, so it's open for contribution.
