Anybody interested in a light/dark theme switcher?

[gapan]

Something like this script:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

CURRENT_THEME=`xfconf-query -c xsettings -p /Net/ThemeName`

if [ x"$CURRENT_THEME" == x"Salix-dark" ]; then
  xfconf-query -c xsettings -p /Net/ThemeName -s "Salix"
  xfconf-query -c xsettings -p /Net/IconThemeName -s "Qogir"
  xfconf-query -c xsettings -p /Gtk/CursorThemeName -s "Qogir"
else
  xfconf-query -c xsettings -p /Net/ThemeName -s "Salix-dark"
  xfconf-query -c xsettings -p /Net/IconThemeName -s "Qogir-dark"
  xfconf-query -c xsettings -p /Gtk/CursorThemeName -s "Qogir-dark"
fi

(WARNING: if you set your theme to something else, it will revert it to the one we use as default)

I remember I had tried that before releasing 15.0, but it had some issues in Xfce 4.16, some things needed a log out/log in to refresh. I just tried it again in Xfce 4.18 and it seems to work fine. I think.

So, should I add something like that to our default installation? Probably with a proper menu entry and maybe some basic GUI on top.

Nice, works here. I'm not sure how often I would use it, but I'm interested.

It was nice to see that choice. More and more we see the dark and light themes.

I'd like to provide something like that for MATE in Slint. As an aside I like the Budgie desktop (tried in a Qemu VM) that provides this feature in the desktop settings GUI.
