So this is a follow-up to #31259 which added the dark theme after #32018 allowed theming via CSS vars.
This Stack Overflow thread captures the issues people have.
- How to disable (whilst keeping
prefers-color-schemeset to dark?🤔) - Where/how exactly to override.
The PR moves the dark theme variable definitions into their own file, and adds an AdminSite attribute for that.
Probably just a block is enough.
Then in the Theming Support docs:
- Link
template overridein the first paragraph to the Overriding Admin Templates docs. - Move the "A dark theme..." paragraph to a new subsection below "The list of CSS variables..."]
- Then add the file the vars are defined in, and mention the block that can be overridden to replace these, or skip the stylesheet entirely.
- Add a
versionchangedfor the variables being move to a separate stylesheet.
That should cover it.
I'm not sure we have automated tests for this. Manual testing will have to do.

Appreciate the interest, but we have a patch prepared already by the ticket author. We should evaluate that one first.
