= XFCE Night Mode
|
|
|
|
Shell script that allows you to easily *switch between dark and light variants
|
|
of the currently used themes*. When used as a
|
|
https://docs.xfce.org/panel-plugins/xfce4-genmon-plugin[Generic Monitor
|
|
(Genmon)] plugin, it will automatically switch at the times specified.

|
|
|
|
It is *important that both the color scheme and the icon theme have both light
|
|
and dark variants*. For example, the Adwaita and Adwaita-dark GTK style and
|
|
the Elementary and Elementary-dark icon theme are such.
