🎨 Palette: [UX improvement] Add ARIA attributes and focus rings to Navbar toggle buttons#118
Conversation
Added explicit `aria-expanded` and `aria-label` attributes to the Forum dropdown and mobile menu toggle buttons. Implemented explicit `focus-visible` utility classes for keyboard focus rings on all interactive toggle elements (dropdown, themes, mobile menu) to improve accessibility. Removed unused `theme` variable to satisfy linter. Co-authored-by: belpythons <187399139+belpythons@users.noreply.github.com>

💡 What
Added missing ARIA attributes (
aria-expandedandaria-label) and explicit keyboard focus rings (focus-visible:ring-2 focus-visible:ring-accent-500) to the interactive toggle buttons in theNavbarcomponent (Forum dropdown, Theme toggles, and mobile menu toggle). Cleaned up a minor unused variable warning.🎯 Why
Icon-only buttons and interactive disclosure widgets (like dropdowns and mobile menus) frequently fail to communicate their state to screen readers and often lack clear visual indicators when navigated via keyboard. Adding explicit ARIA attributes and focus rings ensures a significantly better experience for users relying on assistive technologies or keyboard navigation.
