We previously used an addon to automatically switch themes based on the user’s OS dark mode setting. This was deprecated and is no longer developed, so we tried to switch to this feature. It seems it only switches color schemes, not entire themes, so it won’t work for us. Any thoughts on supporting…

Unfortunately theme switching can’t just work™. [imagem] Automatic Dark Mode color scheme switching We cannot switch themes on-the-fly, themes can have custom javascript code, and it’s not possible to switch the javascript code without reloading the page.

OK, thanks. Anyway, just one admin here saying we found that functionality useful and now miss it.
