Refine themes, add sidebar controls, and theme docs

Refined: softer dark-mode link color (#a0c4e8), fix export button
vertical alignment with inline-flex, tighten settings page spacing
(reduce gaps from 3rem to 1.5rem).

Terminal: switch accent from cyan to green (#4ae54a dark / #1a7a2e
light), add proper light mode with pale steel background, scanlines
only in dark mode.

Sidebar: add quick-access controls in footer — moon/sun icon toggles
light/dark, circle icon cycles through style themes showing current
name. Both update reactively on state change.

Add THEMES.md with full documentation on creating new themes:
variable reference, selector guide, light/dark mode tips, and the
registration process.
