My office is lit up like an interrogation room, so the standard theme is fine there. I've used the Dark theme on my personal laptop for some time. The source tabs are fine, which is the most important thing. My Object Table view is still bright white and some dialogues are so dark I have to do them by memory.

There are many little updates you have to do for nice "Dark-Theme".
For a start only, Here is how you get the LPEX edit to be DARK:
1.) >Window>Preferences>LPEX Editor>Appearance
* Choose Palette "Black"
* change the background color to black for each one.
Except for the cursor! <Hint Hint>

How long ago did you have to adjust the background color for each element? I just trial-installed 9.6.0.1 and you'll be glad to know that the black palette LPEX defaults were quite reasonable as-is.
I had to do some other changes too...
I had to change General Appearance & annotations & some other colors.
Have you been able to fix the find-replace dialog which overlays the bottom of LPEX? The options are practically invisible in Dark theme.
Or do you never change those options so it doesn't matter? Or do you use some other search facility? (iSphere maybe?)
I wish I could export & share. It is not perfect, I am still adjusting...
Well, there may not be uploadable themes (yet), but you can still share your settings in "longhand" form by writing them out in words in a blog post or GitHub repo or wiki or something. And then you can update it as you continue to tweak your environment.
Yeah, it would be a little tedious for you to write it out, and for other users to manually adjust their settings according to your instructions, but it would still be better to have them all in one place than for everyone (including possibly yourself!) to have to keep rediscovering them all, over and over again.
