Can I ask what use case you have for this? Are you switching it multiple times a day (like with sunrise-sunset? If so, can I ask what operating system you’re using?
I’d switch depending on the time of day, device I’m using (phone or computer), and lighting situation, as I read the forum a lot on the go. I use Chrome and Firefox.
Mac, Android and iOS already have a version of dark mode that changes on the time of day. You can then set your EA Forum them to “Auto” and forget it. Unfortunately, windows doesn’t have such a mode, but you might find this does the job.
I’d be curious for more info about your non-time of day lighting desires, but would need to hear of more examples of this before devoting such prime real estate to something that right now I’m modeling as pretty niche.
Some situations in which I appreciate light/dark switches in general:
It’s day, but I’m in my room on my phone and it’s dark.
It’s night, but I’m in my computer with sufficient light around me.
I’m on the tube and it’s lighter or I’m in a car and it’s darker than outside.
But I know your time is quite valuable and I don’t have a good sense of how effortful it’d be to implement this, so take this suggestion as something I’d consider nice-to-have but have absolutely no strong feelings about it.
If possible, an easier way to change between dark/light mode, like a switch on the top right menu, would be great.

On Mac, Windows, Android, iOS?
Windows and iOS. (I now realize you asked for the OS and I read browser , sorry)
