A very similar function was just added to Microsoft PowerToys 0.95 recently, called Light Switch[1]. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles, but basically does the same task, including switching modes automatically based on sunrise and sunset times.

I had similar idea of changing my PC's brightness according to the time of the day. It probably could've been implemented pretty easily using Windows API and some little hacking.
sodaclean•3mo ago
Look at (Monitorian)[https://github.com/emoacht/Monitorian] for that.

It's honestly surprising that it took this long even on KDE. I was switching themes automatically for years with a preference setting in f.lux. Every app on system preference, dark reader as well.

Years ago, I wrote a very stripped-down version in a few lines of PowerShell. I'll upload it when I get home.
lostmsu•3mo ago
I did the same just a few days ago based on webcam, 26 lines of PowerShell.

See https://gist.github.com/lostmsu/cde4a8578d8e0ea1182f579f44bd...

my minimal powershell code

    $old = -1
    while ($true) {
        $d = Get-Date
        $hour = $d.Hour
        if ($hour -ge 6 -and $hour -lt 19) {
            $light = 1
        } else {
            $light = 0
        }
        if ($old -ne $light) {
            Set-ItemProperty HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize AppsUseLightTheme $light
            $old = $light
            echo $light $d
        }
        sleep -Seconds 2
    }

Does it really matter if 60% of system dialogs are still a flash bang?

Are you on Windows 11?
BoredPositron•3mo ago
They fixed the copy dialogs now but it's still not a full dark mode.
xaxaxb•3mo ago
That's true tho
