Using IF Statements And Toggle to Clean Up TradingView Indicator?

I have a toggle at the top of my indicator where I determine if I'm using a Light or Dark Color Theme:

toggleDarkColors = input.bool(true, title = "Toggle Dark Colors", group=g2)
toggleLightColors = input.bool(false, title = "Toggle Light Colors", group=g2)

Colors:

londonTradingWDColor = color.new(#66d9ef, 99) //  Dark
londonTradingWLColor = color.new(#66d9ef, 93) //  Light

I use the colors above to display my trading window on my chart:

LondonTW = input(title='London Trading Window', defval=true, group=g6)
londonTradingWindow = toggleTradingWindow and is_session(londonTradingW)
bgcolor(toggleDarkColors and londonTradingWindow and LondonTW ? londonTradingWDColor : na)
bgcolor(toggleLightColors and londonTradingWindow and LondonTW ? londonTradingWLColor : na)

The 2 issues I'm having is when I click on the "Style" menu in the indicator settings:

#01

I have 2 checkboxes with "Background Color" displaying because I have 2 bgcolor()'s above. Is there any way to dislay only 1 instead of 2 depending on which Color theme is toggled? I tried if statements:

LondonTW = input(title='London Trading Window', defval=true, group=g6)
londonTradingWindow = toggleTradingWindow and is_session(londonTradingW)

LOTWDark = bgcolor(londonTradingWindow and LondonTW ? londonTradingWDColor : na)
LOTWLight = bgcolor(londonTradingWindow and LondonTW ? londonTradingWLColor : na)

if toggleDarkColors
    LOTWDark
    
if toggleLightColors    
    LOTWLight

I got the error: line 551: Void expression cannot be assigned to a variable Line 551 is LOKZDark = bgcolor(londonOKillZone and LondonOKZ ? londonOpenKZDColor : na)

#02

How do I alter the bgcolor() above code to give it a title? I checked bgcolor() on tradingviews pinescript v5 page and I couldn't figure it out.

Any suggestions?

No it is not possible. But why don't you use one input for that? Say you only keep toggleDarkColors and if it is true then it is dark color. If it is false, then it is light color.

#2 bgcolor() has a title argument.

bgcolor(color, offset, editable, show_last, title) → void

title (const string) Title of the bgcolor. Optional argument.

Edit

Use one input for the color option. If true, use dark color, if false use light color. One variable for the color is enough. Then use this variable in bgcolor().

toggleDarkColors = input.bool(true, title = "Toggle Dark Colors", group=g2)
londonTradingColor = toggleDarkColors ? color.new(#66d9ef, 99) : color.new(#66d9ef, 93)
bgcolor(londonTradingWindow and LondonTW ? londonTradingColor : na)
