I know there is an API, but a small change in CSS will be better @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark
It is just cheaper to create an app/website in Dark Mode these days. The loud minority is placated and the rest don't care.

i vote to keep it as it is thank you very much
look into the browser extension Stylus (only changes CSS) or the one named "Dark Reader" (which also only changes CSS to my understanding)
