Hello,

The Dark/Light Mode Toggle seems broken right now.

> [@Dark/Light Mode Toggle](https://meta.discourse.org/t/dark-light-mode-toggle/215585/40):
>
> Update: Unfortunately, due to upcoming changes to Discourse Core, this component will no longer be supported. We will work on refactoring the component to eventually be usable in the new Discourse Core user menu, but for now I will mark this component as broken because of the issues that arise when switching from a dark → light color scheme.

You can enable it with this theme component 🙂

This selector works with both logged-on users and anonymous users.
