Add dark mode to GitLab (GDK) boot screen

Thomas Hutterer requested to merge thutterer/dark-roundtripper into master

What does this MR do and why?

Adds a super simple "dark mode" to the screen we all know and love and look at every day: Waiting for GitLab to boot 😱 🔦

It uses the @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) query, so if your browser/OS is set to dark mode, so will this page ☺ 🛋

How to set up and validate locally

  • It's not enough to checkout this branch, you have to build that .go file. But tbh, I don't know how to do that, so I just made the CSS change there and ran gdk update, hoping it would rebuild it and it did, so... 🤷 If you know how to properly do that, please edit this text.
  • Make sure your operating system is set to prefer dark mode. The way how to do it depends on your OS, but should be somewhere in in Appearance settings.
  • gdk restart rails-web and check the your GDK Waiting for GitLab to boot screen in the browser.
