Note

Assisted-by: Gemini 3.1 Pro - setting the background color on snackbars

Purpose / Description

Improves the accessibility on E-ink devices by adding a theme aimed at them.

It's basically a Black and white/Grayscale/High contrast theme, with thicker borders/dividers/strokes so components are easier to see.

It's okay to keep the color of some things like the flags, so the user can differentiate them at least a little even if the E-ink screen isn't colored. But there are things that I may have forgotten.

Please let me know if there is anything that should be changed to B/W before this is merged. Some things can be changed on later PRs as well

Approach

How does this change address the problem?

How Has This Been Tested?
