Light & Dark mode WITHOUT CSS!

The color-scheme property is a super useful property. It allows us to switch the UI elements, like form controls, scrollbars, and all that to light or dark modes, but it also has a meta tag that we can use as well, allowing us to create light and dark modes without even writing any CSS!
