Dark Mode

Changing themes to switch between light mode and dark mode doesn't have to be a tedious task. Once you have configured the applet with your default light mode and dark mode themes & wallpaper, you can switch between the modes with a single click.

Hello and thank you very much for this. It is one of the best applets out there :-)! Something I noticed similar to appoloin; when e.g. a notebook goes to sleep and wakes up past the scheduled start/end time of the automatic mode switch the change is not fired "again", hence the theme is not switched. Before I found this neat applet I used to simply add some .sh scripts in crontab along shortcuts to fire them manually and had actually the same issue. During my brief fixing research I found this link, maybe it could be useful for you and this applet as well: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58405459/how-to-set-cronjob-on-wake-up-from-sleep BR

Very useful applet! ...which I just discovered. Its author is also the author of the best desklet: googleCalendar. Thank you very much, @slgobinath

Works very nicely, thanks! Only thing I'd change is that clicking the applet should instantly change the theme, without opening a menu with just 1 option.

Please also toggle the libadwaita theme. With gnome migrating to libadwaita, half of the applications don't change their theme

The auto change doesn't switch theme on resume. If you enter hibernation say on the dark theme and resume after the time for the light theme to be used, the applet doesn't switch.

In order to get working, you need to make the folder ~/.local/share/icons, which was missing from a fresh install of Mint. Found by DonLH.
