Perfect
Must have to try out new theme before production G R E A T !
Simple
Installed, turned on the toolbar, tested with Twenty-Twenty. Took a couple of minutes, worked beautifully. Amazing. Lifesaver.
Still figuring it out but looks useful
Looks like a neat plugin. Trying to figure out how to let users switch themes, so they can view my website if they happen to be visually-impaired. I think this plugin will help me do that.
