LightSwitch breaks in multiple tabs about skeleton HOT 3 CLOSED

@m93a I'm not sure this is a use case we ever intended to solve with the LightSwitch component. As such, this would fall more into the category of a feature request than a bug.

While I can understand the frustration with the page display not updating when the toggle is flipped in a non-active tab, the page will correct itself the next time the other tab page are refreshed.

This scenario highlights one of several reasons the Lightswitch component will not be making the jump to Skeleton v3, including:

1. You need very different solutions for mode state handling in Svelte/React and respective meta-framework (including Astro). As such, we'll be providing more guidance, rather than a dedicated component for handling this.
2. We will now be natively supporting BOTH dark mode strategies Tailwind provides without the need for additional utility classes. Toggling mode has different requirements than before.
3. Honestly the component design is too opinionated and feature set too limited. This edge case you've highlighted is an excellent case in point.

That said, I'd rather recommend you follow your work around solution for Skeleton v2 for now. But, consider following the advice in either the Tailwind dark mode docs, or rolling your own solution going forward. This will better align with the upcoming changes in Skeleton v3.

Can you at least close it as "not planned" rather than "completed", since you didn't complete anything.

If that helps you along, sure. If there's anything we can do to alleviate confusion, we're willing to keep discussing/communicating, too.
Either in a Discussion, Discord or whatever else works for you.
