How to block this annoying toggle in uBlock Origin? (lemm.ee)

I'm not sure if this is a good place to ask this, but I couldnt find any active uBlock Origin -communities here. Please delete if this is inappropriate to ask.

This blog has an annoying dark mode toggle, that keeps following the page as you scroll. I have tried to block it by uBlock Origins picker tool, but it only allows selecting the little flame image, creating a filter:

"acoup.blog##.darkmode-toggle"

Yet there remains a partly transparent, unselectable round artifact after this, that keeps following the page like the toggle.

I know I can disable javascript on the page to make it go away, but its tedious to do it every time.

Any tips how to block that annoying little toggle?

Also add acoup.blog##.darkmode-layer to your filters.

Thank you 0v0, that did it!

For the future in case there are similar cases, is there a way to select that with the picker tool or is that just something you have to know about?

This element is never generated as a candidate in the picker, probably a quirk of this specific site. I just looked at the DOM and saw this related element next to the dark mode button.
