Hello,  
Could anyone advise how to enforce Keycloak to use custom ThemeSelector instead of default one with Keycloak 16?  
I have created my ThemeSelectorProvider and ThemeSelectorProviderFactory, packaged them into jar and deployed to Keycloak into /providers folder (everything according to documentation here). I see in Server info - Providers, that my ProviderFactory is present - but together with default one. Also, I see in logs, that Keycloak anyway uses default components (DefaultThemeManager - DefaultThemeProviderFactory - DefaultThemeProvider). As a result, when I am redirected to login page (with default theme, no themes configured in Admin interface), Keycloak just uses DefaultThemeProvider. Even after my changes to standalone.xml - I have added SPI like  
  
my-theme-selector-provider  
  
  
no changes, Keycloak uses default provider.  
Could anyone advise - how to get rid of default ThemeSelectorProvider ?
