This code defines a function getAppTheme that generates a customized Material-UI theme object based on the selected color mode ("light" or "dark"). It uses createTheme from Material-UI to create the theme and customizes it with specific settings for both "light" and "dark" modes, as well as styles for MuiButton components.

Here's a step-by-step breakdown of what the code does:

Imports the createTheme function:
createTheme is imported from Material-UI's @mui/material/styles. It is used to create a theme object that can be applied across a Material-UI-based React application.
Defines the getAppTheme function:
- The function takes a mode parameter with the type "light" or "dark" to determine which color mode to apply.
- Based on the mode value, it customizes the theme using the following configurations.
Customizes the palette property:
- The palette determines the overall color scheme.
- If mode is "light":
  - Sets the default background color to #f4f4f4 and the paper (card-like UI components) background color to #ffffff.
  - Sets the primary text color to #000000 (black).
- If mode is "dark":
  - Sets the default background color to #121212 and the paper background color to #1e1e1e.
  - Sets the primary text color to #ff0000 (red).
Customizes the MuiButton component:
- Overrides the default styles for Material-UI Button components (MuiButton).
- Sets the following styles for each button:
  - borderRadius: Rounds the corners of the button with a value of 8px.
  - boxShadow: Adds an initial box shadow effect (3 3px 6px rgb(255, 213, 2)).
  - transition: Animates button background and box shadow properties smoothly for 0.3s when they change.
- Defines the hover state:
  - Changes the button's backgroundColor to a semi-transparent blue (rgba(0, 200, 255, 0.5)).
  - Disables the shadow effect by setting boxShadow to 0 0px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.25).
Returns the theme:
- The function returns the customized theme object, which can then be used in the application (e.g., by passing it to MUI's ThemeProvider).

Purpose:

The getAppTheme function allows switching between light and dark modes dynamically while applying specific styling rules for the Material-UI theme and customizations for buttons. The application can use this function to maintain a consistent look and feel while providing flexibility for different color modes.
