Improve Community Links Section: Update Icon Styling and Add Consistent Hover Effects

[tarone-saloni]

While browsing the Community section, I noticed that the icons don't feel consistent across themes.
In Light Mode, some icons blend into their circular backgrounds and don't stand out very well. In Dark Mode, a few of them also lose visual clarity, making the section look less polished overall.
Another thing I noticed is that only the IRC icon provides a noticeable hover effect. The other icons don't respond visually when hovered, which makes the interaction feel inconsistent.

Suggested Improvements

• Replace or update the community icons so they are more readable in both Light and Dark themes.
• Keep the icon style consistent (size, contrast, and visual weight) across all community links.
• Apply the same hover behavior to every icon instead of only the IRC icon. A subtle scale, color, or shadow transition would make the links feel more interactive.
• Ensure the hover animation is smooth and consistent throughout the section.
• even github icon not look good in dark mode

I mean look at the images

@ashley-cui Hi mentor,
I wanted to get your opinion on a small UI suggestion. Since we're already displaying icons for the community links, do you think it's necessary to show the link names below them as well? I was thinking that making the icons themselves clickable might result in a cleaner and more modern design. What's your opinion? If you think it's a good idea, I'd be happy to work on it.

Hey @tarone-saloni good work with figuring out the issue, I think keeping the text labels is important for accessibility, but I agree the design could be cleaner. What if we keep the icon names as plain text below the icons (not as links) and make only the icons clickable? This gives a more modern feel while maintaining clarity and usability.

Thanks @Pranav-IIITM........ That makes sense. I agree that keeping the text labels for accessibility is important. Making only the icons clickable while keeping the names as plain text below them sounds like a nice balance between usability and a cleaner UI.
