How to disable dark theme in matlab online

I cannot find a button to disable the dark theme on the online editor. It saves images with dark themes and backgrounds which requires a lot more effort than I want to put in to change all the colors involved. What commands/tabs do I have to check for a theme option?

In my case I have changed Web browser theme from Dark to Light theme

You do not need to change the IDE theme just to save images:
mls = settings;
mls.matlab.appearance.figure.GraphicsTheme.TemporaryValue = "light";
% save your images
clearTemporaryValue(mls.matlab.appearance.figure.GraphicsTheme)
