Hey Discourse Community,

after a lot of requests I share a Theme Switcher component, encapsulated from my [Alien Night Theme](https://meta.discourse.org/t/alien-night-theme-a-free-dark-theme-for-discourse/54175).  
For now, once pressed the button it will switch your theme into a dark mode theme.

Later on I can maybe implement a setting page, where you can define your own global CSS class your theme should switch into.  
Or just toggle between the first two themes you allowed for users to choose from…
