Thank you so much! It looks good, except for one small problem. On mine, it’s got a stray bullet just above it:
There are no other list items on the menu, so I’m not quite sure where it came from. Stray asterisk, perhaps?
Mousing over the text shows the correct link, but clicking it reloads the page as though you clicked one of the themes instead of taking you to preferences.

@Heather_Dudley sorry about that not sure where our stray bullet point friend wandered in from. I’ve now merged in a fix for this!

Interesting, this seems not working now. I don’t know what it is conflict with.
While I think this is a very important and basic component, I think it should be integrated in the discourse system itself.
Working on meta so it must be conflicting with some other component or plugin you have installed

Apologies for asking this on a weekend, but does anyone know a way to re-order one’s respective themes? They’re ordered alphabetically, but I’d like my Light Theme to be put before my dark as it’s the default one; I’ve tried this but AFAIK it doesn’t apply due to it being displayed as “block” instead of “flex”. Is there any other way to re-order CSS elements that will work in this context? Great component by the way.

I usually avoid making these kind of suggestions, but since we can’t edit theme components anymore (easily at least), I wanted to submit an idea.
I find the * a bit simple to show which theme is selected, I like using ✔ instead
What do you think of this idea?
@b481 : the themes are ordered alphabetically, the easiest solution would be to rename your themes. The dark theme could be named Night Theme for example

second’d. and/or maybe the active theme could be bolded?
I know, but I’d prefer to be able to just reverse the order if possible. It’s not a big deal, just a minor nitpick.

Not sure of the CSS coding still learning.
However you can create your own theme component with the CSS using an override. I think it uses !important in the Display css property.

Out of curiosity, could this theme component be made to also show Color Palettes, perhaps with a setting to disable to enable that?
With the new feature here: Automatic Dark Mode color scheme switching Having the opposite color palette for easier access for users would be wonderful if they don’t want to switch this OS settings or dig out the colors in the interface menu in their account.

Ever since this theme component was updated last week, the members that use my Discourse instance have been unable to change their themes. All users were switched to the Default theme (Dark theme in this instance), changing the theme makes the asterisk move to that alternate theme, but there is no change to the theme itself. Any ideas on what I might need to do to remedy this issue?

There’s a bug with this plugin where the hamburger menu ‘Theme Selector’ section title link assumes that you aren’t using a subfolder setup in your discourse. In our case, we are using subdomain.domain.com/subfolder, but the link for that section title takes me to subdomain.domain.com/my/preferences/interface, which obviously doesn’t exist.

I’ve moved your post over to the topic itself as issues with components are currently reported there for easier tracking. 
As you have a subfolder install, you may need to adapt some of these customisations to fit as they are geared towards a more standard setup. Hopefully someone has a suggestion, but if not you may need to engage some specialist assistance in the #marketplace category.
