Check if the app is in dark mode or light mode at runtime

Using Streamlit

TL;DR - How can I check if the app is in dark mode or light mode at runtime to match in-app theme to browser theme?
I’m creating a data app with a lot of custom styling in the visualizations. The issue I’m having is that the visuals look great in Light Mode but terrible in Dark Mode. I would like to develop a separate styling for each mode that can be applied based on which mode is active.

This can’t be done using the get_config_option utility because this (currently) only returns values from custom configurations, and I want to check which default theme configuration is being used.

Is there a way to do this?

Here is some pseudo-code of what I would like to do:

if st.check_is_dark_mode():
    theme = dict( <dark mode styling> )
else:
   theme = dict ( <light mode styling> )

st.plotly_chart(fig.update_layout(theme))
