I'd like to set the dark mode theme on a non-default Kibana Space using a curl command.

Is this possible?

For the default space, I can use the command below, but I can't find anything for specific spaces.

```auto
curl -XPUT "#{kibana_url}/api/saved_objects/config/7.1.1" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "kbn-xsrf: true" -d' {                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
  "attributes": {                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
    "theme:darkMode": true } }'

```

The saved object API is also available on each space:

```auto
PUT <kibana host>:<port>/s/<space_id>/api/saved_objects/<type>/<id>

```

Thanks, I tried that but I'm not having much luck with it 🙂

Here's my code, it sets dark mode for the default space, and then for the 'new' space:

```auto
    PUT <kibana host>:<port>/api/saved_objects/config/7.1.1 -d '
    {
      "attributes": {
        "theme:darkMode": true
      }
    }'

    PUT <kibana host>:<port>/s/new/api/saved_objects/config/7.1.1 -d'
    {
      "attributes": {
        "theme:darkMode": true
      }
    }'

```

The first part works as expected, but for the second call I get this result:  
{"statusCode":404,"error":"Not Found","message":"Saved object [config/7.1.1] not found"}

I think if you have never changed the config in the separate space, the saved object won't exist (this is why updating it fails). Try creating a new config saved object instead.

That has worked! 🙂

Thanks very much for your help with this 🙂
