Add a url param to specify dark mode?

[Hannes Wallnoefer]

Hi David,

Thanks for your feedback. Among the options you mention, I think following the system setting by default is the one I like best. The reason we kept the light theme as default was to introduce the feature with as little disruption as possible, but I’m open to reconsider that decision.

Hello @javadoc-dev at openjdk.org<mailto:javadoc-dev at openjdk.org>,

I am forced to use a browser that wipes history, cookies, sessions, etc. on close, leaving behind only bookmarks and settings. That means that I have to reapply Dark Mode multiple times a day (on the ea Java 26 docs). It's not that big a deal, but I would appreciate a url (better yet, the %s search engine!) that has dark mode activated as part of the url. Either that, or have the default be system setting (or give me a url that does that).

Thank you for your time and consideration.
