I have to have a seperate “theme”? I’m using the default theme. I can toggle to dark mode like [this](https://meta.discourse.org/t/is-it-possible-to-change-dark-mode-preference-for-all-members/286069)

However the toggle only icon ONLY shows if I select “Dark” in preferences. I would like even first time visitors to see the moon icon bottom left. Possible?

Edit: solved as per [the end of this post](https://meta.discourse.org/t/is-it-possible-to-change-dark-mode-preference-for-all-members/286069). It was all ME!
