Black enough

Dark-Arui is a dark theme designed for long coding sessions, featuring a unified deep black background to create an immersive development experience. The updated syntax palette feels lighter and brighter: high-frequency variables stay close to white, keywords use cyan, strings and comments use green tones, and red is mostly reserved for errors and deleted content.
