Workflow: Dark Mode Toggle

[sirshanksalot]

A simple one-liner terminal script that toggles Dark Mode/LIght Mode on/off if you are using MacOS 10.10+

Of course it has far more impact with Mojave!

 

Triggers (customise as you see fit):

• Keyword: dark
• Hotkey: CTRL+OPTION+\

 

UPDATE 1.1 ( Packal | GitHub )

 

P.S. I failed to realise until after I already had a couple revisions going on Packal.org that there was already a couple similar efforts posted here. For what it's worth, perhaps the simplicity of this is useful to someone.

P.P.S. Yes, I've since learned the 4 year old workflow by Steve identified for Yosemite still works! So I've re-invented this as an iteration on his work. See GitHub link for full details and any future improvements.

This is the fourth dark mode switcher on this page…

And there’s been one here for the last three years that still works fine.

Thanks for bringing to my attention! I still find Packal my go to repository first as a forum makes for a painful vehicle to host and find scripts. Actually there's a 4 year old workflow by Steve over there that was identified as for Yosemite.

 

I've just made this a 1.1 iteration on his work rather than creating something totally redundant. Forked on GitHub.

Just catching up on some of the past variations on here. @RodgerWW's Yosemite Dark Mode Toggle (With Alfred Theme Toggle) was ahead of it's time and your enhancement suggestions for other apps were inspired @dfay!

 

I would consider incorporating some of these but keen on the permanent solution of the app's themselves being responsible for supporting Dark Mode

 

I hope Bear and Alfred itself is to follow with updates soon! And please leave in the option to always use a dark theme regardless of Dark Mode as I have personally favoured dark theme in some apps for many years.
