    backgroundColor: '#fff' // Optional, it's used for setting dynamic background color on storybook
    ..., // Your theme keys (Check example if you need some help)
  },
  {
    name: 'Theme2' // Required it's used for displaying the button label,
    backgroundColor: '#000'// Optional, it's used for setting dynamic background color on storybook

How to use your own implementation of ThemeProvider

Thanks to @ckknight suggestion, you can easily use your own context for themeprovider.

This is just an example of a custom theme provider, probably this is not a working, just for suggesting purposes.

const ThemeContext: Context<Theme | void> = React.createContext();
const ThemeConsumer = ThemeContext.Consumer;

export default function SomeCustomImplementationOfThemeProvider(props: Props) {
  const outerTheme = useContext(ThemeContext);
  const themeContext = useMemo(() => mergeTheme(props.theme, outerTheme), [
    props.theme,
    outerTheme,
  ]);

  if (!props.children) {
    return null;
  }

  return <ThemeContext.Provider value={themeContext}>{props.children}</ThemeContext.Provider>;
}

On config.js file of Storybook, just pass a CustomThemeProvider

import { DEFAULT_SETTINGS } from "themeprovider-storybook"
import { SomeCustomImplementationOfThemeProvider } from "src/app/CustomThemeProvider.jsx"

addDecorator(
  withThemesProvider(
    themes,
    DEFAULT_SETTINGS,
    SomeCustomImplementationOfThemeProvider
  )
);

also you can pass inside settings object the custom implementation of your theme provider.

import { SomeCustomImplementationOfThemeProvider } from "src/app/CustomThemeProvider.jsx"

addDecorator(
  withThemesProvider(
    themes,
    { customThemeProvider: SomeCustomImplementationOfThemeProvider },
  )
);

SomeCustomImplementationOfThemeProvider must admit a theme as prop.
