I would like to kindly request a switch in appearance to call dark theme mode through gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme = true Could you please add this switch to the apperance > theme screen? Thank you
I guess this feature would be easily do-able, but it relies on themes providing a dark version. What happens if a theme doesn't have a dark version? Is Adwaita used as fallback? I'm mostly concerned about users being confused about what happens in case themes don't provide those dark variants...

Is this still something worth implementing now that Adwaita, Greybird etc all seem to have dark themes?
It's the other way round: there is no good/easy way to provide a system wide switch, so people starting splitting up themes...
As long as there is no global setting in Gtk we can't properly fix this.
