[UI/UX Enhancement]: Modernize DevTrack Interface with Light Blue & White Theme

Description

The current DevTrack interface mainly follows a black-and-white theme. While the existing design is clean and minimal, introducing a modern light-themed UI with soft blue accents can significantly improve the visual appeal, readability, and overall user experience.

This enhancement aims to redesign important sections of the platform using a more modern and developer-friendly color palette while preserving the minimal open-source aesthetic of DevTrack.
