Description
- I have searched the Issues to see if this bug has already been reported
- I have tested the latest version
Steps to reproduce
- Refresh the page
Current behavior
The theme briefly shows as light mode if in dark mode and then flicks to the expected mode (dark). This doesn't happen in light mode.
Expected behavior
No flash when in dark mode like it does in light mode
Context
I'm using this in my layout:
<Flowbite>
<Head title={`${title} - ${app.name}`} />
{children}
</Flowbite>
I use Laravel/InertiaJS/React
Has anyone else experienced this or know how to resolve it?

Inspect the theme initialization and rendering path; the work is done when dark mode loads without a visible light-mode flash, while light mode remains unaffected.
