ThemeToggler

Toggle mode (themes) for multiple applications at the same time, quickly switching between light and dark mode.

Config

Create a new AppTheme object for each application you want to register a theme for and add it to the THEMES list in settings.py. Currently the theme paths are hardcoded so you'll have to at least change the paths for the present apps (VS Code and Windows Terminal).

Installation

Install the application with Pip. Make sure you are inside the project directory.

python3 -m pip install -e .

You should see something similar to

Package      Version Location
------------ ------- -------------------------------------
pip          20.2.4
setuptools   47.1.0
ThemeToggler 1.1.0   /Users/magicandcode/Dev/theme-toggler

Usage

Once installed, you can run ThemeToggler from the terminal as a command

theme_toggler

Alternatively the application can be run as a Python module.

Navigate into the project directory and run the theme_toggler.py file as a module.

Windows

cd theme-toggler
python -m theme_toggler

Python installed via Microsoft Store doesn't have access to edit the Windows Registry. You need to download Python from python.org (and add it to PATH) if you want to also toggle system mode.

Linux/MacOS

cd theme-toggler
python3 -m theme_toggler

Currently you cannot toggle system mode for other platforms than Windows.

Todo

• Create setup.py to run without specifying python/python3.
• Add command line arguments.
• Implement configs with .env file.

Requirements

• Python 3 (tested on 3.8, requires at least 3.6)
