B2B White Label SaaS Reselling
Speaking of libraries and implementation. I implemented themes for white label (and not only) on UI via styles as a function of state on UI. I used https://fela.js.org/ for this. So basically, when a React app initializes, a part of the state is initialized (via identity of a user, like email they log in or meta info, or additional API call, or via URL) with a value telling if it's a partner X vs partner Y vs your own brand. Then the styles that have colours, backgrounds, borders, box-shadows, fonts are applied by fela. So I created a bunch of styled components like buttons, toggles, styled divs, etc and each of them has access to that piece of state holding the UI theme, and depending on that theme, it will apply CSS classes in the runtime. You can use the same mechanism to implement multiple themes for your own brand (not just light/dark modes). The only thing you need to manually code is a JSON spec for themes like:

I created a Zero-Runtime CSS-in-JS Library Compatible with Next.js App Router and RSC
Over my years of working with React, I’ve loved using CSS-in-JS libraries like Emotion and Styled-components. However, their inherent performance overhead from injecting CSS at runtime and their incompatibility with the latest Next.js features such as App Router and React Server Components (RSC) have always been a nagging issue for me.

Next.js App Directory Architecture First Impressions
An early difficulty I encountered was using UI component libraries like Mantine and Material UI in the new architecture. After looking through some GitHub issues, the culprit is Emotion, a package many component libraries rely on that does not support server rendering.

CSS Style Guide for Web Dev?
In general I recommend using styled-components or emotion. These directly attach CSS to your components in a scoped way so that your CSS files aren’t stepping on each other’s toes all the time and make sure styling is colocated with the component.
