WebKit is having trouble with this now:

https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=126907

We need help from GTK developers to make it possible to use multiple 
themes in the same process without large performance penalties. 
Otherwise we need to change WebKit to try to switch to a light theme 
always. Currently it uses the current theme even if it's dark, and 
websites are broken, making it impractical to actually choose a dark 
system theme.
