I’m trying get the theme picket dropdrown list on my main user setup, but I can’t figure how to get it setup.

All of my themes are set to be selectable by user.

Any idea what I’m doing wrong?

Did you install the [Sidebar Theme Toggle](https://meta.discourse.org/t/sidebar-theme-toggle/242802) #Customization > Theme component ?

Hi @screwballs I think this is what you want
