Is it possible to toggle dashboard theme at runtime by user input field?

[chiliconbeano]

Is it possible to allow users the interactive capability of selecting between light and dark mode theme by way of an input field?  I tried:

<form theme="$background_theme_token$>

along with an input field for that token ( light or dark selection ) and was not able to get it to work.

Any suggestions or is this not doable in the Classic dashboard (XML) world?

Thanks in advance,

Bob

@chiliconbeano - It is not possible with just simple XML and tokens.

But as per the document of Simple XML dashboards, you can set the URL to:

<dashboard_url>?theme=dark

 with JavaScript to achieve the same.

Note that this will not be changed to dashboard XML, it will just show the user a different theme. But enough for what you want to achieve.

I hope this helps!!!
