I wish we could leave that choice to the user.  
Perhaps have a view of the app in the builder in both themes and customize it accordingly.  
For example visible conditions on components depending on the theme.

You’re aware of this, yes?

Or are you referring to something else?

yes I am aware, but this is still automatically.  
I have some hardcoded photos and richtext designs that l would love to adjust according to the displayed theme, and have the user choose his them no matter what his device theme is.

Is there a YC to determine the user theme? the same as we have for system information to determine device, browser and language?  
that way I could just use the automatic theme and create display conditions based on the YC information.  
How does glide determines the user theme device?
