That´s all I want to know. I know about the setting on my Account page, but that stores the setting only with local storage. ‘dark-mode’ => false in the config would be nice

No this isn’t possible right now. You could though change the default view buttons for the user view to not include the theme view button.
thanks, but default is dark and I need it to be light. 
Default follows the OS system setting of the user.
Just like to add some thought from a workplace ergonomics perspective: Please don’t do this be default for all. Let always the users decide which mode they use.
But I do understand the need of setting standards.

I agree with formspiel here. I find light mode is a better default than “match system default”.
Its a fairly big change, and for non-power-users it can give an immidiate unfamiliar feeling when logging in after the update.
Especially also because you don’t immidiately have a choice to go back to (the familiar) light mode. You need to go to “Your account” and find the new “Theme” dropdown.
On newly created users I feel default could be “system”, but on existing users it feels more natural to keep what they are used to.

If you feel strongly about it, you could add a custom Panel JavaScript or plugin JS and use something like
window.panel.theme.set("light")
I read @formspiel’s comment differently: we should not enforce a specific mode. If a user decides on their OS settings to use a dark mode e.g. because of their vision preferences, it’s best if we follow this choice as well and not fight it.
