Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fix: sidebar and body background not adapting to light
 mode

## Changes

### Sidebar
- Remove hardcoded `backgroundColor: "#000000"`
- Use `theme.palette.background.main` for dynamic theming
- Update border color to use `theme.palette.border.light`

### Body Background
- Remove hardcoded `background-color: #000000` from index.css
- Add GlobalStyles in App.jsx to apply theme background to body element

## Benefits
- Sidebar now properly displays in light mode
- Body background adapts correctly to theme changes
- Consistent theming across light and dark modes
