What is this new "Style Chooser"?

In summary, there is a button called "Style Chooser" located at the bottom left of every page on the website. Clicking on it shows three different styles, but the user did not see any visible changes when trying them out. They asked if this was due to the website being under development or if a new style was being applied. Another user mentioned that they do not see the "Style Chooser" button, only a "CHANGE WIDTH" button. The first user then clarified that the "Style Chooser" button is now gone, and provided additional information about their browser and operating system. A third user suggested looking at a previous version of the website to see the "Style Chooser" button.

At the bottom of every page, on the left-hand side, there is a button: "Style Chooser".

On clicking, it shows three different styles:

I tried each of them but nothing visibly changed.

Is this something under development, or is a new style being applied and I can't see it @Greg Bernhardt ? Are you planning a dark theme for PF?

I see nothing at the bottom of a page showing "Style Chooser". I do see something on the bottom left saying "CHANGE WIDTH", and this does actually alter the width of the parts of the page among two different settings. I am on Windows Vista and a Chrome-based browser at this moment in case this helps to know.

Look at the footer in the capture by wayback machine from a day back. Beside "Change Width", you will find "Style Chooser".
