On windows 10, I have dark mode enabled system wide, but I struggle with most third party dark modes, the contrasts between components is not thought out enough - or in the case of email, styled html emails sometimes don't work on a dark background

Is it possible to turn off the dark mode in thunderbird when the os system wide dark mode is enabled

Yes, in the background window in this screenshot https://blog.thunderbird.net/files/2020/07/Dark-Mode-1.png you can see manual Light and Dark options as well as Auto.

Those are the operating system's settings in Mac OS. It's not a Thunderbird dialogue (unfortunately).

Have it installed, such an option isn't available to me, in Win10

According to https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1291071 it should be under Addons -> Themes, at least in previous versions? But it was kinda buggy as of last month.
