Disabling dark / light mode UI toggle

[Niccolò Mineo]

There is a specific situation in which I wouldn't want the user to be able to toggle between dark and light mode for the admin theme, and that is if I heavily customized it. I haven't found a way to disable that specific toggle, so I suggest that an AdminSite.ui_toggle (or the like) boolean be added. What do you think?

* I haven't found a convenient way, that is.

You should be able to disable the button by creating an empty admin/color_theme_toggle.html template in your project.

Yes, not pretty, though, right?

Quite likely not, but such a niche feature isn’t worth the extra API surface area, I’d likely think.

Django currently allows removing the view site link, which I'd call a niche feature. Considering also the recent theming improvements in Django, allowing to hide the color theme toggle shouldn't be more niche than said view site link removal feature.

IMO that’s not an argument for bloating the interface further. If we could go back in time perhaps we’d not make many of the same decisions.

I’d say the way forwards is to write a blog post documenting this template override technique, and if there are signs that others find it useful, we could add a docs note.
