It would be great if the Node-RED editor had a built-in **Dark/Light Mode Switch** , so users could toggle the "editor theme" directly from the UI, without editing `settings.js` and having to restart Node-RED afterwards.

It would be a nice-to-have feature and probably won't make it into the top 10 priorities, and I guess it's not something that can be implemented in just five minutes. But maybe the request could still go into the backlog? 🙈

I'll leave one of the dark themes on for now **🌃**

Most developers use dark themes.

This is because the light ones attract bugs.

🤣

(Sorry)
