Yeah we're aware of this issue. It's because the theme is only applied after page load, that's why we see the flash. It's a little annoying but possible to fix - gatsbyjs.org doesn't have this issue.

To fix this, we need a setbody hooks to inject script into html body. So that it wont wait till React load to actually enter dark mode
