Description

Within the settings page, we should have the ability for the user to change their theme default from dark to light.

This may also mean saving that settings locally somehow so the user doesn't have to do this every time. Perhaps through AsyncStorage?

Research direction

Start at the settings page and trace how the app currently determines its theme. Review whether AsyncStorage is suitable for retaining the selected default, then verify that a user can switch between dark and light themes and that the choice remains after reopening the app.
