Program to change themes for certain programs that don't support Dynamic Themeing in Windows

Requirements:

  1. Windows 10 or higher
  2. Auto Dark Mode >= 10.0.0
  3. Golang >= 1.12.5 (If you plan to build from source)

Supported Programs

* Program must be closed while the theme switch takes place, for the theme switch to take effect.

Installation

No need to install, just download the .exe file, and put the path to the file in Auto Dark Mode scripts file (see Usage)

If you plan to build from source, you will need to install Go from here. After you are done installing. Get the repo and run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/sayandipdutta/themechanger.git
cd themechange
go mod tidy
go build main/themeChange.go

themeChange.exe file will be created in the pwd.

Usage

  1. Open the Auto Dark Mode scripts file (see Installation)
  2. Add the following line to the end of the file:
  - Name: ProgramThemeSwitcher
    Command: full\path\to\themeChange.exe   # eg. D:\Programs\themechanger\themeChange.exe
    ArgsLight: [--theme, light]
    ArgsDark: [--theme, dark]
    AllowedSources: [Any]

The scripts.yml file should look like this:

Enabled: true
Component:
  TimeoutMillis: 10000
  Scripts:
  - Name: ProgramThemeSwitcher
    Command: D:\Programs\themechanger\themeChange.exe    # Example Path
    ArgsLight: [--theme, light]
