Token-Based Theming
Description
A theme is set with design tokens: a small set of named
values (font, colours, spacing, sizes) that cascade through the whole
plot, much like CSS custom properties.
Details
Tokens cascade: setting bg changes the background, but also automatically
adjusts text color for contrast, grid line opacity, and tooltip styling.
You override only what you want; everything else adapts.
