Is it possible to set an attribute like `markersize` globally? If yes, how so?

I have tried activating a theme

```julia
my_theme = Theme(markersize=50)
set_theme!(my_theme)

```

but this does not change the marker size of my scatterplots.

We’re working on that currently, theming the different plot objects is broken.

Cool! Thank you for your work. I think I am ready to switch to Makie as my main plotting package, and I am currently making that transition. So thank you so much making it happen.

PS - I have created a thread in the helpdesk (published), as well as in makie.jl on Zulip. Are you active over there at all?
