Hey @TechbaltoroBI002, you should be able to set the theme by adding a .streamlit/config.toml file with the following content

[theme]
# or "light"
base = "dark"

See also the docs here. It will set the theme in the hamburger menu to Custom Theme by default:

Its not a dedicated st-command, but it sounds like this should fulfil your needs. What do you think?

Just to add, we probably also don't want an st command for this use case because it would mean the app would flicker at page load (it would first show the theme according to the user's system settings, and then switch the theme once the command is reached). Doing it via the config file is far better because these settings are applied before the page loads/script runs.

@raethlein yes it does actually. @jrieke @raethlein thank you guys, for the clarification.
