It would be really cool to see a feature on the top right ↗ beside the menus with a 🌙 icon which when pressed will change the theme to dark and once it’s activated the 🌙will change to a 🌞 which will allow you to active the default (light) theme!
I think this would be a very useful feature and should be in the base Discourse.
