set-active-theme 

dci set-active-theme [body]

Sets the theme active for the authenticated user. Send the reserved sentinel themeId: "default" to clear the active theme and fall back to the built-in default. Returns the updated active theme.

Pass the request body as name: value arguments or pipe JSON on stdin — see Command structure.

Examples​

# Activate a custom theme by ID (from `dci list-custom-themes`) for the authenticated user.
dci set-active-theme themeId: <custom-theme-id>
# Clear the active theme and fall back to the built-in default.
dci set-active-theme themeId: default
The updated active theme is returned; `dci get-active-theme` confirms it.
