What I learned

For toggable light/dark themes we can grab root css varibles and update the values

function myFunction_set_dark() {
  r.style.setProperty('--light-bg', 'hsl(207, 26%, 17%)');
  r.style.setProperty('--white', 'hsl(209, 23%, 22%)');
  r.style.setProperty('--black', '#fff');
  r.style.setProperty('--dark-grey', '#fff');
}
