  @Sylens Drake the html element has a data-theme attribute that you can use to target your custom component css

  I think more information about the data-theme attribute could be listen on the CSS customization page that references Dark Mode:

  we don't explicitly export the

  useTheme

  hook, but you can still import it

  
  

  
  

  import { useTheme } from 'payload/dist/admin/components/utilities/Theme
  

  
  

  if you did want to help us export it, you could open a PR via adding an export to the

  payload/components/utilities

  file and then add it to docs here:
