Is there currently a way to, say, set an alternate color or conditionally show components based on whether dark mode is detected? I’d like to show different images of a UI mockup based on dark mode.

The documentation says this: [Dark Mode](https://docs.realmacsoftware.com/elements-docs/elements-app/dark-mode)

I can see the Dark/Light Mode toggle button at the top of the editor, but for me that does nothing? I would have thought one should be able to set the dark mode theme colours in a Component and then the toggle might work? It isn’t obvious to me yet, as to how that would be done?

This is a case of the documentation being ready before we’ve shipped the feature… We have dark/light mode working here, it should be in the next beta 😉

It might help to tag the planned but unimplemented features in the documentation.

The feature is implemented, just not available in the beta you guys have yet 😝 Won’t be long…
