What have you tried?
i have few batch files on desktop to open few node-red dashboard and Flexdash as well.
i just added ?theme=dark at the end as below as said in your post that i have linked in my op. it does opens the dashboard, but always in default light mode.

Hmmm, for me this works on Linux:
> chromium 'https://core.voneicken.com/wcc/?theme=dark' --kiosk
I assume you also need some form of quotes on Windows due to the '?'...
quotes gave me syntax error.
I tried --force-dark-mode in the command line, it turned the browser to dark mode, but FlexDash is still in light mode.
--enable-features=WebContentsForceDark
This did it !
Edit: Er. Jumped too quickly, it does turn the page dark, but everything is dark even the dark letters in light mode are still dark. i cant read them.
this dark is not same as when i set dark from flexdash
back to square one...
quotes gave me syntax error.
single or double ?
single gave syntax error, double did not change theme color, but opened light mode
single gave syntax error
You only enclosed the address in quotes ?
Google says the format is:
start "" chrome.exe --kiosk "http://127.0.0.1:1882/flexdash?theme=dark"
I don't use windows, can't test
this gave me below error
this opened the dashboard but in light mode
this also opens the dashboard but in light mode again.
And what address do you see in the address bar ?
it shows theme= dark in the beginning , but then when dashboard is loaded it shows #1 at the end
Whatever does that sign-in thing probably strips the query string...

I removed the dashboard authorization in settings.js and still it is the same issue
it briefly displays (http://127.0.0.1:1882/flexdash?theme=dark)
and then changes to #1
even i entered this directly in browser it is still same
Dunno...
Try http://127.0.0.1:1882/flexdash?theme=dark#1... The #1 is for tab #1.
I don't know how to reproduce it or why it would happen. Chromium doesn't do that for me, I can dig out my windows laptop tomorrow if no-one else has an idea.
Nope 
Try this - http://127.0.0.1:1882/flexdash/?theme=dark#1
(Note the added backslash after 'flexdash')
