I was pushing for this very strongly a while ago. It looks so much better than the white and orange theme IMO! Do you agree with me?
I'm not sure about the possibility to change between both of them but If there isn't an option to do that , I assume that the Dark theme will stay and the light one won't.
Wangbus said that they would add this along with the functionality to switch between themes. I'm not sure whether that is still true since the dark theme is now default. They may have just saved time for now and went with the darker one.
Update:
<wangbus> switching is under way but not completely ready yet
I definitely agree , I was never a fan of light theme honestly.
Speaking about the development , I just noticed that the development is no longer active as It used to be (since a month now) :
