+### Theme Configuration
+
+Use the `theme` setting to configure the default theme mode and toggle button, allowing visitors to switch between light or dark mode.
+
+```yaml {filename="hugo.yaml"}
+params:
+  theme:
+    # light | dark | system
+    default: system
+    displayToggle: true
+```
+
+Options for `theme.default`:
+
+- `light` - always use light mode
+- `dark` - always use dark mode
+- `system` - sync with the operating system setting (default)
+
+The `theme.displayToggle` parameter allows you to display a toggle button for changing themes.
+When set to `true`, visitors can switch between light or dark mode, overriding the default setting.
