Question 1

How do theme transitions work with next-themes?

Accepted Answer

The component intercepts the theme switch event, starts a View Transition document snapshot or CSS clip-path animation, and updates the resolved theme cleanly.

Question 2

What happens in browsers that do not support View Transitions API?

Accepted Answer

Components include automatic progressive enhancement fallbacks that gracefully apply CSS transitions or immediate theme swaps without errors.

Question 3

Does the theme transition cause layout shifting or flickering?

Accepted Answer

No. The snapshot transition captures the visual tree before applying class updates, eliminating flickering and unstyled flash.
