Keep only Dark mode in Docusarus

[qui8t]

I want to disable the color mode toggle and only support the dark theme.

colorMode: {
    defaultMode: 'dark',
    disableSwitch: true,
    respectPrefersColorScheme: false,
},

The above config results in removing the theme toggle, but keeps using the light theme.

I don't want to override the CSS config of the light-theme with dark-theme config, because I want to keep the CSS config for the future in case I decide to enable that button.

Not 100% sure but I think this is a bundler caching issue. Running docusaurus clear and restarting/rebuilding will lead to the right dark color mode. Or maybe you just need to restart the dev server?

Edit: yes it really looks like a hot reload problem. Some of our Docusaurus config changes unfortunately require to restart the dev server.

See this repro, it shows dark mode for me: https://stackblitz.com/edit/github-krhxqbh7?file=docusaurus.config.ts

You're right, it is the hot reload issue. After restarting the server, the toggle is removed, and the dark more is applied. Than you!
