RFE: New projects created with Initializr must include both a light and dark theme by default

Discussion: #4779 (reply in thread)

Copy of the suggestion:

When creating new projects with Initializr, including useLargerTextScaleBool in theme.css is a great idea. You might also consider ensuring that new projects created with Initializr include both a light and dark theme by default. Currently, it's only possible to choose light or dark, not both. Almost all new smartphone apps offer these two styles, and the appropriate one is chosen at runtime. You wrote on the blog about how to do it manually, but wouldn't it be easier to have it by default?

We're already doing this. We created completely new native themes that support light/dark mode and they should be on by default in initializr. You will only see this impact after the weekend release though. See: https://github.com/codenameone/CodenameOne/tree/master/native-themes

I'd like to know whether this CSS improvement applies only to Android and iOS, or to all Codename One ports such as JS and desktop applications. Thank you.

@jsfan3 At the moment this is limited to Android and iOS. These are completely new themes so they are off by default to reduce risk. Once we decide they look good we will add them to JS and Desktop too.
