Describe the feature you'd like

Is it possible to disable the switch for the bright/dark mode?

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users

We not use the DarkMode from BookStack

Because it wasn't optimally designed

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

no

Hi @reddexx,
This would not be an option I'd look to build in, but you could hide the toggle buttons using our methods of customization.
Below is a quick "Custom HTML Head Content" hack that would do this, quickly tested on the latest release.

<style type="text/css">
	form[action$="toggle-dark-mode"] {
		display: none;
	}
	header .dropdown-menu li:nth-child(5),
	header .dropdown-menu li:nth-child(6) {
		display: none;
	}
</style>

May not be applicable for future updates.
