Problem/Motivation
The default value of the Use the administration theme when editing or creating ECK entities option on the Appearance page is false, which means that ECK forms are rendered using the frontend theme. I feel like since the progress in the Admin UI and JavaScript Modernisation Initiative, the Claro theme set as default admin theme and the rise in popularity of Gin theme this is no longer a sensible default. Maybe I'm biased since I have never had to integrate admin forms with custom frontend themes, but is this still a thing nowadays?
The node module has a similar option for their forms, Use the administration theme when editing or creating content. That option has been turned on by default for a long time when installing a site using the Standard profile.
Steps to reproduce
Install the module and visit the Appearance admin page. The option is turned off.
Proposed resolution
Turn on the Use the administration theme when editing or creating ECK entities by default for new installations.
Remaining tasks
Do it.
User interface changes
ECK forms will be rendered in the admin theme by default.
