| The `theme` key styles UI elements (sidebar, body, tabs). It does not control the light/dark color mode. Fern follows the visitor's operating system preference, and no `docs.yml` key forces the site into dark or light mode for all visitors. The closest options are: |

Use 'doesn't' instead of 'does not'.

Added a Note callout to the "Theme configuration" section of the site-level settings page explaining that
theme:styles UI elements only and does not control the color mode; Fern follows the visitor's OS preference and no docs.yml key forces dark or light mode. The Note lists the closest options with links:settings.dark-mode-code: true(Settings configuration),<Fern.ThemeSwitch />in a custom header (Header and footer page), and setting both light and dark values undercolors.
