Is there a way to set kibana dark mode using an API?  
(The equivalent of flipping the 'dark mode' switch on _Management \> Advanced settings_)

Thanks in advance!

There is an API, however it is not publicly documented so it is subject to change at any time. You can use it to set the dark mode setting like this:

```auto
POST <kibana-host>/api/kibana/settings/theme:darkMode
{
	"value": true
}

```

Thanks @Bargs!  
As long there will be support to set darkMode on the future, I don't mind changing the API.
