I’m working on a new website in Elements and I want to give visitors the option to choose between a light and a dark view themselves.  
Is there an easy way to do this so they can switch modes?

Right now, the theme will only switch automatically based on the user’s system (or browser) settings; it cannot be changed manually.

I do think this automatic setting is the way to go, as it’s always best to respect the mode the user has chosen on their system.
