On GNOME and KDE, this is simple. Window managers, of course, are going to come with their own solutions. The setting is exposed through the XDG Desktop Portal.

You're being downvoted but you're right.

If you're using a Window Manager (like i3) they are unlikely to come with utilities like this. You need to download another app (lxapperance for Xorg) or write a script to flip the appropriate settings.

Is this something I can use if I'm using i3wm?

A desktop environment like Gnome or KDE does a lot of this for you. You can try using a stand alone program like lxappearance (from LXDE) to tweak your settings. Or you can configure it yourself https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GTK#Dark_theme_variant
