fix(theme): default to dark, polish theme cycle visibility and hover

New installs land on plain dark instead of ultra-dark. The cycle button
icon now has an explicit colour so it stays visible inside the mobile
drawer (the previous color:inherit didn't cascade through the teleported
node), and hover/focus matches the menu's blue across sidebar, login,
and sub pages.
