After much tinkering, I finally have what seems to be a working version of the Anki deck template with dark mode toggle + suitability/scaleability for all devices. I'd be very grateful if those of you who use Anki could give it a test run and let me know your thoughts. Just download the file from this post, click File > Import in Anki, and you're good to go.
These are very much a work in progress so your feedback will be essential in determining how the finished product looks.

Instructional videos will also be released containing setup instructions and general advic...
