auto theme changer for windows 10

automatic theme changing from light mode to dark mode and vice versa based on system time

• only for windows 10(1909+) (tested on 1909)

changes the registry values by running reg.exe in windows as a subpprocess using the subprocess module. registers the runner subcommand as a schedules task to run on an hourly basis.

stays light from 7:00 to 18:00 and goes dark in the remaining time.

subcommands set_system_theme and set_app_theme can be used directly by providing a "true" or "false" input as argument.

full help can be obtained by using the --help flag on any sub command or the command itself to reveal all the subcommands.

runner function is the main entry point per-se. the functions are the subcommands too and hence the runner function is the one that runs every hour to be exact.

installation

using pip

python -m pip install --upgrade autothemewin10

manual installation

i used flit for this package to manage it's installation and publishing. hence you need to get flit first

python -m pip install --upgrade flit

then git clone the repo and in the root of the folder do flit install after making the necessary changes do flit install.

flit install

this will get all of the required modules and register the shell script.

Usage

All you need to do to registed the scheduled task is run

autotheme register-scheduled-task

this will register the script as a scheduled task to run

you can manually use the subcommands to make your own scheduled tasks as you please using the task scheduler in windows.
