Change ui-theme using switch

[Aridzki]

Description

Hi All, is there any way to change pre-configured ui-theme using switch? Like dark mode and light mode.

Have you provided an initial effort estimate for this issue?

I am no FlowFuse team member

@joepavitt I’d like to revisit this with #1461. I can make any necessary changes you need to go forward with this.

I'd be open to a UI Control message supporting the switching of a Theme. Then, you could have a UI Template that has a switch in to send the relevant control.

I'd be against having fixed switch to control this as it's very opinionated in style and appearance

@joepavitt I can't find a way to change theme via ui_control in the documentation, how to do that?

@Aridzki that was my point ☺️ there isn't currently, but i would be open to adding one (or someone contributing one)

@joepavitt can we change the ui_theme value using ui_template?
