My Theme Switcher
With live updating favicon, also!

It seems that now just about every website has a "Theme Switcher" ability.
Well, here's my version of the same thing 😉
SVGs were created in https://designer.gravit.io/
SVGs have been optimized using https://jakearchibald.github.io/svgomg/.
Original source for the theme switcher came from Luke Lowrey.
But I came up with the favicon switching by sourcing from Stackoverflow, CSS Tricks, and various other places.
If you would rather use png to support older browsers, you can use https://convertio.co/svg-png/.
The one thing I could NOT figure out - how to preload the appropriate favicon based on localStorage. That's why I have favicon.svg set as the default. If someone could figure that out for me, that would be awesome!
Here are the icons to make it easier to get started with in your project.

This is my first contribution to the community.
Let me know if you like it and please tell me how else I could optimize the JavaScript. I am still learning :)
Enjoy friends!
