Toggle light & dark themes with a launcher. - MtnSk8 - 03-14-2021

A launcher to toggle between the stock light and dark themes in Mobian:

goes in:      ~/.local/share/applications/
name it:      themeswitcher.desktop (or whatever name with .desktop extention)

Code:
[Desktop Entry]
Actions=Light;Dark;
Type=Application
Name=Day-Night
GenericName=Theme Switch
Comment=Theme Switch
Icon=contrast
TryExec=gsettings
Exec=notify-send ThemeSwitcher "Long Press for Theme Color Options"
Terminal=false
Categories=Settings;Theme;Colors;Session
MimeType=
Keywords=Theme,Colors

[Desktop Action Light]
Exec=gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme 'Adwaita'
Name=Daytime

[Desktop Action Dark]
Exec=gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme 'Adwaita-dark'
Name=Nighttime
Then make it executable:
Code:
sudo chmod +x ~/.local/share/applications/themeswitcher.desktop

Long press on the Icon to use.

Save battery by switching to the light theme in bright conditions.
Save your eyes at night.

Cheers!
