Not a bug in my opinion. If you hide the thing that the theme theme switcher is placed inside of then obviously you lose the theme switcher. I could put it in the footer but you can hide that too, so then where would it go? You still sort of have access to it if you resize the window down to mobile view, since it's also inside the expandable mobile navigation.

You are right, technically this is not a bug. I am thinking of a solution, to maybe add a button next to lets say header widget with this theme switcher.

One obvious problem is it may not look good for all kinds of widgets.

No problem, I get your viewpoint here. Let's close this one. Maybe, if I get some time, I'll look into automatic theme based on browser theme / time duration implementation.
